Despite the marginal gains, BNB still traded under $220, extending its range formation.
Can buyers mount a sustained bullish rally?

The $205 support level has been decisive for bulls over a two-month period. The buying strength at the level has limited the selling pressure and kept BNB in a price range over the period.
Furthermore, buyers have registered decent price rebounds from the level. However, the $225 resistance level has always stood in the way of more gains for buyers.
With the bullish sentiment in the market, BNB buyers could take advantage to push for a sustained bullish run. A price consolidation above $220 will provide the platform needed to flip the $225 resistance level with further upside at $235 to $240.
On the other hand, another rejection will keep the current range formation and extend BNB’s bearish market structure.

Data from Coinalyze showed a lack of confidence in the bullish rebound by participants in the derivatives market. Despite the price bounce, the Open Interest (OI) declined by $4 million over the past 24 hours.

Similarly, the Funding Rate flipped negative over the past 48 hours. This suggested that short-position traders were dominant and willing to pay long traders. This implied that many Futures traders were bearish at press time.
