Unlike the prior period, crypto investment products ended last week with a net positive flow. However, Binance Coin (BNB) did not share the same trend.

This development raises concerns about the coin’s short-term potential. Will BNB’s price falter as a result?

According to CoinShares’ latest report, digital asset investment products saw inflows worth $176 million. This increase suggests that investors saw last Monday’s crash as an opportunity to accumulate at discount prices.

While Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) saw notable inflows, BNB was the only top-5 coin to experience an outflow. Specifically, Binance Coin recorded outflows totaling $1.2 million.

This decline could be linked to BNB’s price action. During the flash crash, the coin’s value dropped to $404.30, causing panic among investors and spreading doubt about the cryptocurrency’s potential.

This sentiment contrasts sharply with the optimism seen when BNB reached $701 in June. Currently, the altcoin trades at $508, marking a 5.06% decrease from its recent peak of $535 on August 11.

In addition to the price decrease, the BNB ecosystem is experiencing a significant decline in development activity, a key metric for assessing a blockchain’s health and valuation.

This metric indicates whether a project is experiencing growth and smart contract deployment. An increase in development activity suggests that developers are rolling out new features, which can potentially drive user adoption of the blockchain.

The decrease in BNB Chain’s development activity indicates that code commits aimed at improving the network are lower than usual. It suggests a bearish signal and could negatively impact BNB’s price if the trend continues.

According to the Bull Bear Power (BBP), bears still dictate the direction in which BNB heads. Also known as the Elder Force Index, the BBP measures the strength of buyers and sellers by comparing the swing low and swing high to the Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

When the BBP reading is positive, bulls are in control, and the price may increase. The negative reading implies that BNB’s price will likely decrease.

Additionally, the coin’s price is below the 20-day EMA, as it was some weeks back. Put simply, the EMA measures trend direction over a period of time. If the price is above the indicator, the trend is bullish.

Thus, the current position means that BNB is undergoing a bearish trend. Suppose this remains the same; BNB’s price may decrease to $479.10. However, if bulls retrieve dominance from bears, the value of the coin may jump to $526.
