Midday Trend

Published on August 3, 2026 at 1:10 PM

Bitcoin has reclaimed the $63,000 level while Strive Inc. (NASDAQ: ASST) is maintaining its breakout trend, trading up 6.16% at $11.79 into the midday hours. The sudden momentum shift across risk assets was driven by the broader market rally following a blowout ISM Manufacturing report, pulling both spot Bitcoin and Strive out of their early-morning consolidation bands.

Midday Trend Breakdowns

1. Bitcoin Spot Market Reversal

  • The Bounce: After sliding to an early morning low of $62,307, Bitcoin caught an aggressive wave of bids to reverse its intraday losses and push back over $63,000. 
  • Volume Expansion: The breakout coincided with a massive influx of traditional market volume as the Nasdaq jumped over 2%, lifting correlated digital assets. 
  • Next Key Level: Momentum algorithmic buyers are now eying $63,550 as the next heavy cluster of overhead resistance.

2. ASST Equity Outperformance

  • Consolidation Hold: After touching an intraday high of $11.96, ASST stock has successfully flagged and consolidated, holding firmly above $11.70 throughout the noon hour. 
  • Premium to NAV: Strive's market cap sits at approximately $991.5 million. With 20,020 BTC on its balance sheet valued at roughly $1.27 billion, the equity continues to trade at a market-to-NAV premium of 1.44x, triggering systematic value-buying. 
  • Volume Check: Intraday volume has surpassed 1.3 million shares, pacing comfortably for an above-average volume close ahead of its expected corporate updates. 

Tactical Execution Adjustments

  • For Active Longs: Continue holding long positions as long as ASST remains supported by its VWAP line at $11.60.
  • The Breakout Trigger: If spot Bitcoin breaks above $63,550 heading into the afternoon, expect ASST to test its morning high of $11.96, with a clear path to the psychological $12.50 line.
