Bitcoin price surged above $125,000, reflecting growing institutional demand and growing global confidence. For its part, Strategy Company – owned by Michael Saylor – announced the cessation of new purchases after making profits worth $3.9 billion, while the pro-growth trend of Japanese leaders and investors’ concern over the US government shutdown contribute to the search for safe-haven investments.
As we noted in previous forecasts, the next target on the Bitcoin chart is between the $128,000 and $130,000 levels, with the possibility of a potential rise towards the $160,000 level in the next leg.
Saylor temporarily halts Bitcoin purchases after posting $3.9 billion in third-quarter profits.
Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, reported $3.9 billion in unrealized gains on its Bitcoin holdings during the third quarter of 2025. Despite these unprecedented gains, Saylor announced that the company would temporarily halt new purchases, a rare move for a company known for its continued purchasing policy during periods of market strength.
Strategy now owns 640,031 Bitcoins at an average cost of less than $74,000 and a total value of over $79 billion. Additionally, Saylor said in an article on Platform X that total profits – including October profits – had exceeded $9 billion.
While some traders treated the pause with sarcasm, others saw it as a temporary period of calm after achieving exceptional returns. The decision highlights the strategy’s disciplined approach, while at the same time its huge profits reinforce confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term returns.
Wall Street Analyst Expects Bitcoin Price to Rise Despite US Government Shutdown
The price of Bitcoin reached a new all-time high at $125,559 on October 5, doubling its value in a year despite the continued U.S. government shutdown. This achievement reflects strong investor confidence in the world’s largest digital currency.
According to Geoffrey Kendrick, head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered Bank, the price could soon reach $135,000, and perhaps reach $200,000 by the end of the year. Kendrick attributes the rise to significant investments in Bitcoin Spot ETFs, which could attract up to $20 billion in new investments over the coming period.
Kendrick pointed out that the government shutdown is pushing investors toward Bitcoin as a safe haven from traditional market fluctuations, and analysts believe this change in public mood could maintain the currency’s momentum and push it to unprecedented levels in the coming months.
New Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Revitalizes Cryptocurrency Markets
The election of Japan’s new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, sparked a wave of optimism across financial markets and digital currencies, as the Nikkei index jumped 5% immediately after his election, recording its highest levels ever, as investors welcomed his policies to support economic growth and his approach based on lowering interest rates.
Takaichi has long been known in Japan as the “Iron Lady” and is a strong advocate for tax incentives, innovation and the adoption of digital assets. During her previous ministerial term, she supported allowing cryptocurrency donations to politicians, indicating her progressive stance towards blockchain technology.
Analysts say his leadership could pave the way for clearer rules for digital currencies and attract more Japanese investors to assets like Bitcoin. With it already trading above $125,400, the Japanese government’s pro-growth outlook could boost demand and push prices higher amid global economic uncertainty.
Bitcoin technical analysis: bearish butterfly pattern nearing completion
As we discussed in our previous forecasts, Bitcoin price continues its relative stability near $125,200, showing its strength after breaking through the $118,000 zone. The general trend remains bullish, driven by an ascending price channel which determines the dynamics of the month of October.
Bitcoin price is now approaching the upper boundary of the bearish butterfly harmonic pattern, with the potential reversal zone (PRZ) expected to lie between $128,000 and $130,000.
According to the four-hour chart, Bitcoin is holding higher lows and trading well above the 50-day simple moving average (50-SMA) at $119,012 and its 100-day counterpart (100-SMA) at $115,740, supporting the continuation of the uptrend. A relative strength index (RSI) near 70 indicates slight oversold; In other words, momentum has tended to calm down as buyers continue to control the market.
If Bitcoin price stabilizes above $124,600, it could continue to rise towards $130,000, completing the harmonic trend. Failure to maintain the support level at $121,100 could lead to a retest of the $118,500 level.
Despite the possibility of a temporary decline, the overall trend remains bullish, with the technical model indicating that Bitcoin’s next leg of upside could target $160,000 in the coming months.
