During the early Asian session, Bitcoin is trading around $104,800, gaining nearly 2.50% in 24 hours, despite stronger-than-expected U.S. job data tempering rate cut hopes.
The U.S. added 139,000 jobs in May, beating the forecast of 125,000, which suggests the economy remains resilient and gives the Federal Reserve less reason to ease monetary policy.
Despite that, former President Donald Trump continued his push for looser policy. Shifting focus from Elon Musk to Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Trump called for a full 1% rate cut, which he claimed would act as “rocket fuel” for the economy. The Fed, however, is unlikely to act before September.
Altcoins had mixed reactions:
Ethereum dropped 5.5% Dogecoin fell 6.4% XRP and Solana saw milder declinesFor Bitcoin, some traders warn of a “liquidity trap” with heavy long positions between $99,000 and $102,000, which could trigger a sharp pullback if bulls don’t follow through.
Metaplanet Doubles Down on Bitcoin Strategy
Japan’s Metaplanet, dubbed the nation’s “Bitcoin strategy arm”, has updated its roadmap, setting a new goal to hold 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026. That’s a dramatic leap from its original 21,000 BTC target. To fund the expansion, the firm will issue up to 555 million new shares, raising $5.4 billion, according to CEO Simon Gerovich.
Gerovich believes that rising global uncertainty is prompting investors to shift away from bonds and toward inflation-resistant assets, such as gold and Bitcoin. The company’s stretch goal? Holding 210,000 BTC by 2027, equivalent to 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
Such long-term commitment could significantly tighten supply and increase institutional FOMO, fueling upward pressure on BTC prices.
Bitcoin Chart Eyes Breakout; Institutions Show Up
Bitcoin’s recent bounce from $100,519 has formed higher lows and is now approaching a key descending trendline. BTC sits just above the 50-period EMA on the 2-hour chart, with the MACD showing a bullish crossover, a sign that momentum is building.

Meanwhile, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor has also returned to the buying table. His firm is launching a $1 billion stock offering to expand its Bitcoin holdings, following an initial raise of four times its target of $250 million. With BTC near $104K, that capital could translate to nearly 9,600 BTC.
Trade Idea:
Entry: Above $105,200 Target: $106,750–$107,600 Stop-Loss: $103,900 Confirmation: Watch for bullish engulfing candles or a break of the trendlineIf this level gives way, it could mark the start of Bitcoin’s next leg higher, powered not just by hype, but by institutions and nations placing large bets.
