Short liquidations and steady ETF inflows drove the rally. Short-term models place the next bullish target near $133.5k."} How did Bitcoin reach a new all-time high? Bitcoin all-time high momentum came from steady demand, concentrated short-liquidation events and ETF inflows. BTC pushed to $125,599 on October 5, 2025, after two key supply zones were cleared and $131.96 million in short liquidations occurred in 24 hours. On the 5th of October, Bitcoin [BTC] set a new all-time high at $125,599, per data from CoinMarketCap. At the time of writing, BTC was trading near $125k and appeared likely to continue upward momentum. Source: BTC/USDT on TradingView What role did liquidations and supply zones play? Two supply zones near $117k and $124k were cleared, opening space for momentum. CoinGlass recorded $148.47 million in Bitcoin liquidations in 24 hours, with $131.96 million being short liquidations. These concentrated stops accelerated price discovery and reduced sellers at key levels. How do ETF inflows and exchange flows influence short-term price action? Spot ETF inflows remained strong, reinforcing buyer demand. Low BTC inflows to major spot exchanges (reported by market trackers) reduced available on-exchange supply, supporting higher prices. ETF purchases paired with buyer dominance often amplify short-covering moves. Short-term Bitcoin price targets Demand for Bitcoin has been steady recently. Spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw strong inflows last week, a trend that should continue if prices climb past $125k. Using the checkonchain STH (short-term holder) realized price model gives statistically informed bands for near-term targets. The STH realized price is currently at $112.8k, acting as short-term support. Source: checkonchain The immediate resistance band at $124.8k has been overcome. The STH +1σ (standard deviation) band sits around $133.5k and is the next bullish price target. Historically, STH +1σ acted as resistance in May and July, so market reaction near $133.5k will matter. How might macro and political factors affect the rally? Short-term political events, such as the U.S. government shutdown, introduced uncertainty, but Q4 expectations stayed bullish. Historically, October has been positive for crypto performance—a pattern some market participants refer to as “Uptober.” Frequently Asked Questions { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What was Bitcoin's new all-time high on October 5, 2025?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $125,599 on October 5, 2025, driven by strong demand, ETF inflows and concentrated short liquidations." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the next short-term bullish target for Bitcoin?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The next short-term bullish target is approximately $133.5k, aligned with the STH +1σ band from the checkonchain short-term holder realized-price model." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How large were recent Bitcoin liquidations?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "CoinGlass data showed $148.47 million in Bitcoin liquidations over 24 hours, with $131.96 million of that total being short liquidations." } } ]} What should traders watch this week?
