BNB is repeatedly building strength before the $700 mark, Standard Chartered has called out a staggering target of $2,775 by 2028, but the short-term downside risk is rising!
News Front: Both positive and negative concerns coexist.
Long-term Institutional Bullishness: Standard Chartered's latest report predicts that BNB will hit $1,275 by 2025 and $2,775 by 2028, with the core logic being its deflationary model (annual burn rate of 4.77%) and the rigid demand of the Binance ecosystem (180 million users, daily trading volume of $1.69 billion).
Technical Upgrade Catalyst: The BNB Chain's Maxwell hard fork testnet will launch on May 26, shortening block generation time to 0.75 seconds, significantly improving trading efficiency. If the mainnet is successfully deployed by the end of June, it could attract expectations of $50 billion locked.
Whale Selling Pressure Risk: In May, there was a dark pool sell order of 80,000 BNB, with mysterious funds withdrawing early, necessitating caution against short-term liquidity shocks. From a regulatory perspective, the SEC's accusations of BNB as 'illegal securities' have yet to materialize, posing potential downside risks.
Technical Aspect: Death cross pressing down, critical support level under pressure.
Bollinger Bands Narrowing: The current price of 673.36 has fallen below the middle band (682.35), closely adhering to the lower band support at 671.78. The Bollinger channel is rapidly narrowing (with an amplitude of only 1.9%), indicating an imminent trend change — if it breaks below the lower band with volume, it may plunge to $650 or even strong support at $637.
MACD Death Cross + Top Divergence Prototype: MACD green bars have expanded to -3.71, DIF (0.97) has crossed below DEA (2.82) and is continuing to decline. More dangerously, the price peak of 697.73 (May 30) is lower than the previous high, while the MACD peak is also decreasing, indicating the emergence of a top divergence signal, suggesting a depletion of upward momentum.
Derivatives Overheating: Open interest has reached $829 million, with daily options trading volume surging by 91%. Long positions are concentrated, and if the price falls below $670, it may trigger a chain liquidation.
Operation Summary: Focus on defense, waiting for a breakthrough.
Holders: Closely monitor the lower Bollinger band at 671; if it breaks, stop loss; if it rebounds, it must stabilize above the middle band at 682 to hold.
Onlookers: Gradually accumulating in the 650-637 range (strong support), paired with Binance staking (annualized 14%-25%) to hedge against volatility.
Short Opportunity: If it breaks below 670 with volume, lightly short with a target of 650 and stop loss set at 685.
Integration Logic: Long-term ecological value supports bullish expectations, but short-term technical death cross + regulatory risks suppress breakthrough momentum. The bull-bear showdown point has narrowed to $670-$682, and the direction of the breakout will determine the trend for the month.
