Summary
Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $125,600 on October 6, 2025, continuing its upward trajectory from a low of $74,570 in April. The surge is fueled by institutional demand, including a $3.24 billion inflow into Bitcoin ETFs, and broader market strength. Analysts predict further gains through October, though caution remains due to Bitcoin's volatility.
