Binance Coin climbed again over the weekend, surpassing the $900 mark and touching around $907 on Sunday after a strong 24-hour rise. Markets were calmer overall, with the crypto complex as a whole up 0.55% for the day, while Bitcoin hovered above $92,000 and Ethereum traded above $3,100.
Market reaction to regulatory change
According to social posts by Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao, also known as “CZ,” optimism around a possible new crypto cycle has helped fuel demand. CZ linked this mood to a regulatory change, saying the Securities and Exchange Commission had removed crypto from its list of priority risks for 2026.
According to reports, the move is being interpreted by some investors as a sign of easing oversight, and it appears to have boosted token sentiment.
I could be wrong, but Super Cycle is coming.

BNB (@cz_binance) Institutional purchases add fuel
Reports point to significant institutional flows into Bitcoin products. According to a filing, Wells Fargo purchased 383 million Bitcoin ETF shares, a figure that market watchers have flagged as significant institutional ownership.
Morgan Stanley also filed its own spot Bitcoin ETF last week, which many see as further evidence that big financial players are stepping in. These actions are cited by traders as one of the reasons why risky assets like Binance Coin could attract more interest.
The macroeconomic calendar could cause prices to vary
A busy week of US data is ahead and traders say it could affect crypto angles. On Monday, the market will follow a speech from the chairman of the FOMC. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the US Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index will be released.
Jobless claims arrive Thursday and a Fed balance sheet update arrives Friday. Any significant surprises in these numbers can increase liquidity flows and quickly change the appetite for the tokens.
Binance Coin: technical levels to watch
BNB briefly reclaimed the $900 zone and was reported at $909 in some feeds as the four-hour chart showed a steady rise. Short-term resistance lies near $950, with a psychological barrier at $1,000.
Technical indicators offered cautious support to the bulls: the MACD showed a bullish crossover with the blue line above the signal line, and the histogram printed positive bars, suggesting mounting buying pressure. The RSI was hovering around 56.10, below overbought levels, implying room for further gains.
Traders are still pointing towards a key support range near $850. A break below could invite further selling and push prices down to $820. The scenario of a rapid withdrawal is real; prices that rise quickly can fall quickly. Market participants will be watching both the macroeconomic calendar and any new regulatory updates for clues.
