Strive’s financial backing includes several high-profile billionaires, including Peter Thiel, JD Vance, and Bill Ackman, whose nominal participation reinforces institutional confidence in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Price Forecast: Can BTC Hold Above $105K as Institutional Buys Surge?

Bitcoin currently trades at $105,048, up 2.4% intraday, supported by expanding institutional exposure and improved macro liquidity expectations. Technical indicators on the 12-hour chart suggest a 63% breakout probability, reinforcing the case for sustained upside momentum.

BTC price currently remains anchored around the middle band, showing consolidation strength with an upward bias. A decisive close above $106,000 could accelerate the rally toward the upper band target of $111,584.

Momentum indicators also support the bullish setup. The MACD histogram displays a fading red bar, with the MACD line (-2,472) and signal line (-2,210) converging for a bullish crossover. Bitcoin’s volume delta also leans positive at +595 BTC, confirming fresh capital inflows backing the intraday rally. Should this trend persist, Bitcoin price could establish a new short-term base above $104,000, potentially paving the way for a retest of $112,000 in the coming sessions.

However, a downside invalidation occurs if BTC closes below $98,300, near the lower Bollinger band.
