  • After falling below $104,000, Bitcoin quickly rebounded and traded at $105,590, up 0.15% in 24 hours.
  • Analysts identified the $104,000–$105,000 area as a strong support zone, with high buying volume during the dip.
  • Younger investors are increasingly viewing Bitcoin ownership, especially becoming “wholecoiners,” as a new status symbol and form of security.
  • Technical signals point to more potential upside, with consolidation above $105,470 raising the prospect of a move toward $106,000.

Market data indicated high trading volumes during the brief decline, signaling robust buying activity at the lower price range. Analysts pointed to the $104,000–$105,000 band as a key support area as Bitcoin’s price maintained an upward movement. The CoinDesk Research technical analysis model reported that BTC traded between $104,480 and $105,696, closing near the upper end of that range.

Data from the session showed significant accumulation in the $104,400–$104,500 range, especially between 16:00 and 20:00 GMT. A bullish reversal took hold at 21:00 GMT, with Bitcoin pushing above $105,000 on strong volume. Overnight, an intraday breakout at 02:01 saw the price climb from $105,486 to $105,550 amid heightened activity.

Jeff Park, Head of Alpha Strategies at Bitwise Asset Management, stated in a recent Unchained podcast episode that younger investors are increasingly interested in owning at least one full Bitcoin—referred to as becoming "wholecoiners." Park said this demographic often views Bitcoin as a new symbol of financial status and security, with some aiming to create lasting generational wealth. He explained that Bitcoin’s global and neutral design supports investors seeking alternatives to traditional financial systems.

Technical analysis suggests consolidation above $105,470 could support further gains toward the $106,000 level, provided current demand persists. Despite cautious sentiment after recent volatility, Bitcoin’s longer-term positive trend appears undiminished.
