Windtree plans to set up a BNB corporate treasury
Windtree Therapeutics, a NASDAQ-listed company, announced $520 million commitment to acquire BNB tokens on Thursday. The announcement fueled a renewed bullish run in the CEX token over the last four days, resulting in a new all-time high of $855 on Monday.
Windtree plans to create an equity credit line of up to $500 million to purchase BNB alongside an additional $20 million stock purchase agreement with Build and Build Corp. However, the equity credit line still requires approval from stockholders.
BNB targets $907 amid record-high open interest
Binance Coin edges lower from the $855 level at press time on Monday while battling to avoid losing the Sunday gains. BNB remains in a price-discovery mode with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 85 on the daily chart signaling an overbought condition. The RSI trends sideways, indicating persistent buying pressure; however, investors must exercise caution as overbought conditions often forecast a quick correction.
Investors are likely to flock towards BNB as it gains trend momentum, indicated by the rising Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and its signal line. A rising trend of the green histogram bars from the zero line reflects the bullish nature of the increasing trend momentum.
A continuation of the uptrend in BNB could target the $907 level, aligning with the R3 pivot level and projecting double-digit gains ahead.
