$BTC

Bitcoin ($BTC) is currently experiencing a significant bullish run, consistently hitting new all-time highs in July 2025. It recently surpassed $118,000, driven by increasing institutional adoption and a "flight to hard assets" amidst global economic uncertainties. This surge follows a strong Q2 2025 where Bitcoin gained over 25%, largely due to institutional inflows and robust ETF demand, defying muted retail interest.

Experts are increasingly optimistic, with some analysts predicting $BTC could reach $145,000 by year-end and potentially $200,000-$300,000 by Christmas based on power curve models and historical patterns. While volatility remains, Bitcoin's resilience and decoupling from broader stock market sentiment suggest a maturing asset class.
