Binance Coin continued its strong performance this week, reaching an all-time high of $794.&nbsp; 
Binance Coin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bnb/" target="_blank">BNB</a>) has done better than some large coins like Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" target="_blank">ETH</a>) and Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank">BTC</a>) over the last 12 months. It has gained 220%, compared to BTC’s 133% and ETH’s 71% rise in the same period. In response to an X post highlighting this performance, Changpeng Zhao noted that investors often focus on 24-hour performance, missing the broader long-term gains.

The BNB price momentum is being driven by its strong fundamentals and technicals. Fundamentally, the <a href="https://crypto.news/understanding-defi-and-its-uses/" target="_blank">DeFi</a> total value locked in the BSC ecosystem has <a href="https://defillama.com/chains" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">jumped to almost $6 billion</a>, making it the fourth-biggest chain after Ethereum, Solana, and Tron. 
BSC’s protocols in the DEX industry have also seen a sharply in the past few months, helped by the ongoing crypto rally. It has handled tokens worth $9.91 billion in the last 30 days and $1.17 trillion cumulatively.

Additionally, the BNB Chain has been actively burning coins. The most recent quarterly burn removed 2.02 million coins from circulation. Binance’s long-term goal is to reduce the total Binance Coin supply to 100 million coins. 
The BNB price has also done well after Binance launched BFUSD, a <a href="https://crypto.news/binance-launches-bfusd-stablecoin-offering-19-55-apy/" target="_blank">stablecoin that promises a yield</a> of almost 20%. These developments have created more utility for the Binance coin. 
Another driver of BNB’s rally is the resolution of regulatory concerns. Changpeng Zhao, Binance’s founder, recently completed his prison sentence in the United States, reducing some of the regulatory overhang affecting the coin.

Meanwhile, Binance Coin has strong technicals that could push its price much higher than where it is today. On the weekly chart, the coin has formed a cup and handle pattern, a popular bullish sign. It has now moved above the upper side of this pattern, a sign that bulls have prevailed.&nbsp; 
The distance between the upper and lower edges of the cup suggests a potential 70% rally. Applying this measurement from the breakout point indicates a possible target of $1,170. 
The Murrey Math Lines tool also supports a bullish outlook, showing that BNB has moved above the “weak, stop &amp; reverse” level, suggesting it could advance to $875, the “extreme overshoot” level. 
However, a drop below the key support level at $625, identified as the “strong pivot reverse” level, would invalidate the bullish outlook.
