BNB (BNB), formerly known as Binance Coin, continues to trade higher above $762 at the time of writing on Monday after closing at its highest-ever weekly level and gaining over 9% last week. Derivatives data support a bullish thesis as Open Interest (OI) hits a yearly high of $1.05 billion, reflecting renewed investor interest. The technical analysis also suggests a continuation of the rally, targeting its all-time high of $793.86 and potentially entering a price discovery mode.
CoinGlass’ data shows that the futures’ OI in BNB at exchanges rises to a new yearly high of $1.05 billion on Monday from $829.50 million on Wednesday. An increasing OI represents new or additional money entering the market and new buying, which could fuel the current BNB price rally.

BNB price on the weekly chart has rallied by more than 9% and closed at its highest weekly level to date at $756.82. At the start of this week, on Monday, it continues to trade higher above $760.
If BNB continues its upward trend, it could extend the rally toward its all-time high at $793.86. A successful close above this level could extend the gains toward its 141.40% Fibonacci extension level at $956.92, drawn from the August low of $400 to the all-time high in December at $793.86.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the weekly chart reads 66, surpassing its neutral level of 50, which indicates strong bullish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator on a weekly chart showed a bullish crossover in mid-May. The rising green histogram bars above its neutral zero line suggest that bullish momentum is gaining traction.
