BNB Surges on $2B Investment: Analysts Debate If $1,000 Target Is Within Reach
Binance Coin (BNB) has hit fresh record territory after Abu Dhabi-based MGX announced a historic $2 billion investment in Binance on August 12.
The deal, entirely funded in stablecoins, marks the largest single investment ever made in a cryptocurrency company. Within 48 hours of the news, BNB surged more than 15%, breaking through key resistance levels and reaching a new all-time high of $864.
The rally comes amid strong corporate demand for major altcoins, as Ethereum and BNB both approach record valuations alongside Bitcoin’s latest all-time high.
Technical Outlook: Bullish but Overbought
Despite the excitement, technical indicators suggest caution in the short term. BNB’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits above 70, placing it firmly in overbought territory and hinting at the potential for a short-term pullback.
However, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains bullish, with the MACD line well above the signal line and green histogram bars signaling ongoing momentum.
Key resistance lies at $861.10, a level that, if broken convincingly, could trigger momentum buying toward the psychological $900 mark and possibly the $950–$1,000 range within the next 30 days. Immediate support is found near $820–$830, with stronger levels at $730.01 and $639.16.
Volume remains strong, with over $345 million traded in the past 24 hours, suggesting there is still liquidity to sustain larger moves. Moving averages from the 7-day ($819.47) to the 200-day ($652.67) all trend upward, confirming the strength of the broader uptrend.

BNB Price Target: $1,000 Within Reach or Due for a Cooldown?
Analysts remain cautiously optimistic. Bullish scenarios see BNB pushing toward $950–$1,000 within a month, provided it holds above $850 and breaks through the $861 resistance. A mild pullback to cool the RSI could create an attractive entry point before the next leg higher.
However, a failure to maintain above $850 could open the door to a 13% drop toward $730. A deeper correction to $639 remains a low-probability scenario given current fundamentals but cannot be ruled out if the broader market turns bearish.
For now, the development of record-breaking investment news, strong technical momentum, and strong market sentiment keeps the $1,000 milestone firmly on the radar, but traders should expect volatility on the way up.
