\n

BNB, the token that powers the BNB Chain and can be used for fee discounts on leading exchange Binance, has crossed $1,000 for the first time ever amid a wider crypto market rise.<\/p>\n

The token jumped 4.5% over the last 24-hour period, climbing from $956.80 to a $1,004 all-time high and pushing its market cap to near $140 billion, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model.<\/p>\n

That move edged BNB past Solana to reclaim its position as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.<\/p>\n

The rally appears to reflect renewed confidence as Binance is reportedly in talks with the U.S. Department of Justice<\/a> (DOJ) to put an end to a key compliance requirement from the exchange\u2019s 2023 settlement.<\/p>\n

Binance has since 2023 been under a court-appointed monitor as part of its $4.3 billion settlement over anti-money transmitting violations.<\/p>\n

The deal, if finalized, would require the exchange to adopt a stricter internal reporting system, as was the case with similar companies that were released from court-appointed monitors.<\/p>\n

Some investors on social media are also speculating<\/a> about the possible return of co-founder Changpeng Zhao<\/a>, who stepped down as part of Binance\u2019s DOJ settlement. While there is no official indication of his reentry into leadership, the narrative seems to be fueling momentum behind the token.<\/p>\n

The wider crypto market has edged up after the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 bps yesterday<\/a>, as anticipated. The CoinDesk 20 Index<\/a>, which offers a weighted measured of the broader digital asset market, is around 3% in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Technical Analysis Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n

BNB\u2019s upward push began steadily after reports of the Binance-DOJ deal surfaced, with the token trading around $956 in the morning before gathering pace in the evening hours. It jumped from $961.41 to $994.49 in little over an hour, in a spike that came with a surge in trading volume.<\/p>\n

The token found consistent support between $983 and $988, even as it briefly stalled near resistance at $995. That price ceiling was tested multiple times before a final breakout that saw it hit a new all-time high above the psychological barrier of $1,000.<\/p>\n

The sharpest gain came in a six-minute window where prices leapt from $998.74 to $1,004.28, supported by a volume burst eight times above normal hourly levels.<\/p>\n

New resistance is emerging near $1,005, while support has stabilized just below the $1,000 line. BNB\u2019s price has since receded to around $998.<\/p>\n
