Let"s discuss the main reasons behind the BNB price rally.Capital rotation from Bitcoin to BNB market


BNB"s price rise in the last 24 hours coincides with Bitcoin"s (BTC) 2.5% drop versus the U.S. dollar.


This divergence is particularly pronounced in the BNB/BTC trading pair, which has seen an increase of over 11%, highlighting a significant shift in market dynamics between these top-ranking cryptocurrencies.BNB/BTC daily price chart. Source: TradingView


Simply put, traders are potentially rotating out of the Bitcoin market to seek safety in BNB. That is further visible in BNB’s market dominance, which has jumped from 2.74% to 2.99% in the last 24 hours.BNB.D daily performance chart. Source: TradingViewPortal launch on Binance Launchpool 


The recent surge in BNB’s price aligns with the debut of Portal (PORTAL), a cross-chain gaming platform on the Binance Launchpool, highlighting a potential catalyst for increased investor interest and capital inflow toward BNB.BNB/USD 4H price chart. Source: TradingView


The Portal launch accompanies a staking pool that enables users to stake their BNB and FDUSD into separate pools to farm 50 million PORTAL tokens until Feb. 29. That highlights a potential catalyst for increased investor interest and capital inflow toward BNB.

Nonetheless, BNB’s 4-hour relative strength index (RSI) has risen above 70, an overbought area. In other words, the cryptocurrency risks undergoing a price retracement.


If BNB enters an overbought correction cycle, its primary downside target looks to be its 0.326 Fibonacci retracement line at $364 — down 4.5% from current price levels — by the end of February. Conversely, a decisive break above the $387 resistance level could push BNB’s price toward $400.
