Bitcoin has exceeded $ 121,000 today, pushing towards the historical maximum while the fourth quarter of 2025 began with a renewed basket for Bitcoin.
The rally follows a strong milestone in September, when Bitcoin gained about 5% to close about $ 114,000, a performance that somehow challenged Bitcoin’s reputation for seasonal weakness.
Historically, when September ended in the greenery, Bitcoin has often continued to publish out of the headquarters of the fourth quarter. The Bitcoin Magazine Pro data show that in years such as 2015, 2016, 2023 and 2024, the gatherings of the fourth quarter have been on average of over 50%.
That seasonal trend has already gained October the nickname of “uptober” among the merchants. Since 2015, the month produced average earnings of 21.8%, with November added another 10.8%.
If the story rhymes, Bitcoin could be on the right way to cancel $ 150,000 by the end of the year.
Alla-Time High bitcoin coming?
According to Bitcoin Magazine Pro Data, Bitcoin rose almost 3% in 24 hours, advanced by about $ 117,500 to just over $ 121,000. In the last month, Bitcoin has obtained a profit by over 9%, increasing from about $ 110,700.
On the base for a year to the date, Bitcoin delivered a return of 27%, underlining its resilience despite the ongoing volatility in wider markets.
With prices now less than 3% from the historic maximum of over $ 124,000, it seems that the stage is set for a breakout if the pressure of the purchase continues.
Bitcoin’s bullish momentum
The latter wave arrived when the traditional economic metrics moved away from the arrest of the United States government at midnight after the congress did not approve of a financing bill. With Wall Street under pressure and releases of economic data now waiting, the investors have poured into concrete activities.
This year’s earnings are also based on April’s Halving event, which cut the new Bitcoin stock in half – a milestone that historically preceded significant rise on the price. At the same time, the signals of key liquidity flash Verdi.
Global growth of the offer of M2 money, stablecoin emission and a gold event – that Bitcoin has often traced with a delay – everyone indicates the strengthening of the demand.
This week’s citigroup analysts set a 12 -month projection for Bitcoin at $ 181,000, citing robust affluent that could reach $ 7.5 billion by December.
“We are more positive on Bitcoin than Ether, as it captures an out of measure of incremental flows in cryptographic markets,” wrote analysts Citi, adding that a more friendly regulatory environment could support the momentum in 2026.
With Bitcoin that already records record records in 2025, the fourth quarter is now looming as a decisive trait.
