Top 3 Coins to Watch Today: BNB, WAVES, SAND – May 11 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Binance Coin (BNB)

Binance BNB is the biggest cryptocurrency exchange globally, based on daily trading volume. Binance aims to bring cryptocurrency exchanges to the forefront of world financial activity. Aside from being the largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance has launched a whole ecosystem of functionalities for its users. The Binance network includes the Binance Chain, Binance Smart Chain, Binance Academy, Trust Wallet, and Research projects, which all employ the powers of blockchain technology to bring new-age finance to the world. Binance Coin is an integral part of the successful functioning of many of the Binance sub-projects.

BNB Price Analysis

At the time of writing, BNB is ranked the 4^th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$323.70. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

After a 30% decline from last week, BNB has ranged between $310 and $358. The recent price recovery was approaching probable resistance near $375 but could be aiming for stops above the relatively equal highs near $380. Continuation of the trend could target the daily gap near $394.

Aggressive bulls might add to positions near $320 and $316. Price action near $310 may be more likely to provide support – if it gets there – during any retracements.

Relatively equal lows clustered around $300 seem likely to be swept if the bearish trend resumes. If this move occurs, the price might find support at the significant higher-timeframe level near $290.

2. Waves (WAVES)

WAVES is a multi-purpose blockchain platform that supports various use cases, including decentralised applications (DApps) and smart contracts. The platform has undergone various changes and added new spin-off features to build on its original design. Waves’ native token is WAVES, an uncapped supply token used for standard payments such as block rewards. Waves initially set out to improve on the first blockchain platforms by increasing speed, utility, and user-friendliness.

WAVES Price Analysis

At the time of writing, WAVES is ranked the 55^th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$12.14. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

During Q1 high, WAVES‘ slight drop marks the current range as a reasonable area to expect accumulation.

The recent bearish flip of the 9, 18 and 40 EMAs might cause bulls to be less aggressive in bidding. However, possible support near $14.12 and $12.10 – between the 41.8% and 46.6% retracements – could see at least a short-term bounce. 

Long-term consolidation suggests that the areas near $25.45 and $30.61 may be more likely to cause a longer-term trend reversal.

Bears are likely to add to their shorts at probable resistance beginning near $20.77, which has confluence with the 18 EMA. A fast break of this resistance could trigger more selling near $23.42, the start of the bearish move.

3. The Sandbox (SAND)

The Sandbox SAND is a blockchain-based virtual world allowing users to create, build, buy and sell digital assets in the form of a game. By combining the powers of decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the Sandbox creates a decentralised platform for a thriving gaming community. The Sandbox employs the powers of blockchain technology by introducing the SAND utility token, which facilitates transactions on the platform.

SAND Price Analysis

At the time of writing, SAND is ranked the 39^th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$1.76. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

SAND‘s impressive gains during Q1 halted at $4.95 before retracing 70% of the move. This price action created several areas of possible higher-timeframe resistance in the process.

The price found resistance on its last swing upward near $2.43 – an area that could provide resistance again. If this swing high breaks, the price might find resistance near $2.85. If this area does provide resistance, it would suggest the formation of a higher-timeframe consolidation.

The fast move up left little higher-timeframe support. However, a vast zone between $1.90 and $1.72 has provided support before and could give support again on a retest. This zone is between the 61.8%-to-78.6% retracement levels of 2021 Q4’s parabolic move.

Continuation downward through this level, especially if the overall market remains bearish, could retrace most of Q4’s move to the next higher-timeframe support near $1.55.
