Eight straight sessions of buying pulled $2.8 billion off the market. That streak sits at the center of the latest Grok AI price prediction, where the model predicts Bitcoin’s most likely path into year-end 2026 running $95,000 to $120,000, with a base-case close near $105,000.
Three demand shocks are rebuilding the setup. The first is that ETF streak, with August already above $3 billion. BlackRock’s IBIT has taken most of it. That buying forces real coins off the market after a weak first half.
The second shock came from Washington. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pledged on August 20 to at least double long-bond buybacks.
The reaction was immediate. That pledge ignited a 23% week which reclaimed $80,000 and revived the debasement bid. The third is still ahead. The Senate holds a CLARITY Act cloture vote on September 15.
Passage would lock Bitcoin’s commodity status into statute. It would also reopen bank and allocator pipelines that have stayed closed.
The invalidation needs two things to go wrong. A hawkish Kevin Warsh signal from Jackson Hole combined with a failed vote would send Bitcoin price back toward $60,000 to $65,000. Under the bull case, $105,000 is the year-end print.

The year-long chart explains the size of this move. Bitcoin price peaked near $126,000 last October and lost half its value by February 2026.
That month broke $60,000 outright. March through May rebuilt toward $83,000, then June erased the recovery and dragged price back to $57,500. July and August delivered a long, flat shelf near $64,000. The breakout arrived suddenly and has not given anything back.
Bitcoin closed at $80,279, up $1,256 for a gain of 1.59%, with a session range from $78,573 to $80,820. That is a fresh high for the move rather than a fade.
Resistance sits at $80,820, then the $84,000 shelf from May, then $88,000. Support runs through $78,573 and $72,000, with $64,000 as the structural base.
RSI reads 82.09 against a signal line at 68.82. The 13 point gap has already narrowed from the spike reading printed last week.
That narrowing while price makes new highs is the constructive combination. The signal line is catching up rather than the price rolling over. September 15 is the date that settles it. Clear that hurdle and $105,000 becomes the working target.

Bitcoin Is Running Into a Supply Squeeze. Bitcoin Hyper Is Building for What That Scarcer BTC Can Do Next.
ETF buying is pulling Bitcoin off the market faster just as policy catalysts threaten to bring even more capital in. If that scarcity pushes BTC toward $105,000, the next question becomes what holders can actually do with an increasingly valuable asset beyond simply storing it.
Bitcoin Hyper is building around that opportunity.
The project uses the Solana Virtual Machine to bring high-speed execution, ultra-low fees, and smart contract functionality into a Bitcoin Layer 2 environment. Its Canonical Bridge is designed to move BTC into that ecosystem, while HYPER powers gas fees, staking, and governance.
That creates a second-order Bitcoin trade: not just betting on BTC becoming scarcer, but on infrastructure capable of putting that capital to work across DeFi and programmable applications.
Bitcoin Hyper’s presale has already raised more than $33 million, with buyers currently able to stake HYPER for yields of up to 35% APY ahead of the planned 2026 launch.
