Bitcoin price is holding off pressure, staying above $105k for the second successive session. The BTCUSD pair traded at $105,035 as of this writing, having inched up by 0.1%. The Middle East conflict is preventing investors from placing aggressive bets amid concerns over potential escalation. Institutional purchases have helped the coin stay afloat, with Bitcoin spot ETFs having recorded $2.40 billion worth of net inflows following gains in the last eight successive trading sessions.
Institutional Inflows, Exchange Outflows Support Bitcoin Price Upside
The broader crypto market is on the upside, with the market capitalisation having risen by 0.2% in the last 24 hours to reach $3.26 trillion. Meanwhile, CoinMarketCap reports that the number of public companies holding BTC has risen by 135% in 2025, hitting 151 firms. That underscores the coin’s growing influence as a store of value and raises the prospect of greater integration into the mainstream economy.
Bitcoin price upside is also supported by the rising volume of outflows from exchanges. According to IntoTheBlock, BTC had $1.88 billion worth of net outflows in the last seven days. That shows investors are increasingly inclined to hold on to their BTC rather than trade it. The result is reduced sell pressure, which favours gains by the coin in the coming days.
Bitcoin Price Prediction
Bitcoin price pivots at $104,940 and action above that level favours the buyers to stay in control. That momentum will likely meet initial resistance at $105,310, but an extended control by the buyers could push the price above that level and test $105,715.
Alternatively, BTC price could break below $104,940 and shift the momentum to the downside. With the sellers in control, the coin will likely find initial support at $104,460. The upside narrative will be invalid if the price breaks below that level. Furthermore, such momentum could extend losses and test the second support at $104,000 in extension.
