The cryptocurrency market benchmark asset, Bitcoin, reached its all-time high after surging to more than $125,000 during Monday’s market session, driven by strong volume and broader market-wide momentum on 5 October 2025.
According to CoinMarketCap data, the digital currency gained more than 2% during the market session on Sunday, hitting its lifetime high level of $125,559.21. Bitcoin had a previous all-time high level of $1,24,500, which was achieved in August 2025.
The crypto brokerage data also showed that the currency extended its weekly gain to 13.87%, which aligns with the wider market momentum driven by bullish indicators, macroeconomic tailwinds in the United States, such as potential US Fed rate cuts later this month, and Bitcoin ETF inflows.
Apart from the technical factors, the uncertainty looming due to the US government shutdown also acted as support for the stock, as investors rushed to park their money in assets like Bitcoin, reported the news agency Bloomberg.
Are investors turning bullish or bearish?
A poll conducted by CoinMarketCap among investors showed that, despite the cryptocurrency reaching its all-time high today, crypto investors are maintaining their bullish momentum.
According to the data, 82% of Bitcoin investors anticipate a ‘bullish’ sentiment for Bitcoin, while 18% expect a ‘bearish’ stance. More than 5 million people have voted using the poll option on the brokerage.
“With many assets including equities, gold and even collectables like Pokemon cards hitting all-time highs, it’s no surprise Bitcoin is benefiting from the dollar debasement narrative,” Joshua Lim, co-head of markets at crypto prime brokerage firm FalconX, told the news agency AFP on Sunday.

The benchmark cryptocurrency’s market capitalisation (M-Cap) stood at $2.46 trillion, marking a 0.94% gain in the last 24-hour period. However, the CoinMarketCap data also showed that investors are now trying to hold the crypto coin, with the volumes dropping 22.2% in the last one-day period.

However, investments in these digital asset classes are risky due to the highly volatile nature of the crypto market. Hence, investors should stay cautious before making any investments.
