Bitcoin Price Skyrockets in Uptober 2025 – Nears Record High Amid ETF Frenzy and Shutdown Fears
Bitcoin entered October 2025 with remarkable upward momentum. After spending much of the summer stuck in a rut, trading under $110,000 in late September, the flagship cryptocurrency burst to life as Q4 began Coindesk. By October 3, Bitcoin’s price had rocketed above $120K, and it briefly touched ~$123,300 intraday – putting it within sight of its record high Coindesk Coindesk. This rally capped a five-day run in which BTC gained roughly 12–15%, making it one of Bitcoin’s strongest early-October performances ever. As of October 4, the price has slightly consolidated but is still hovering around $121K–$122K per coin Coinspeaker, up significantly from the prior week’s levels.
