The price remains comfortably above the Parabolic SAR level at $98,673, indicating that the bullish trend remains intact.Bitcoin price forecast todayVolume has moderated during this consolidation phase, pointing to a healthy pause rather than a breakdown.Support from the Donchian Channel midpoint at $99,276 provides a firm floor for price action, with the lower band at $92,846 acting as a secondary safeguard.Bitcoin price forecast today is skewed to the upside so long as price action holds above $99,000 and maintains distance from its lower volatility bands.A daily BTC price close above $105,700 would confirm breakout continuation toward new monthly highs, while failure to hold $99,000 could expose downside risk to the SAR level. Current indicators suggest bullish resilience, backed by declining sell volume and a structure that continues to respect ascending trend signals.The post Bitcoin Price Holds Above $103K as GD Culture Commits $300M to Crypto Reserves, $105.7K Breakout Next? appeared first on CoinGape.
