Bitcoin at USD 122K: The Squeeze, The Fed Shutdown and the Signal of A Rate Cut Rally
๐๐๐Bitcoin did not just climb. Bitcoin erupted, surging past USD 122,000, marking a 7 week high. This is fueled by a USD 313 million short squeeze that left skeptics scrambling. But beneath the technical fireworks lies a deeper emotional and macro story. Bitcoin is becoming the asset of belief in a world losing faith in Fiat.
Why it matters emotionally :
Fiat refers to government issued currency that is not backed by a physical commodity like gold or silver. Fiat's value comes from trust - the belief that it will be accepted for goods, services and debts because the government says so.
Fiat is the money of systems - Central banks, governments and policy. Bitcoin, in contrast, is the money of belief, code and conviction. When people say they are fleeing Fiat, they are often fleeing inflation, debt and distrust. They are choosing assets that feel sovereign, scarce and symbolic.
Why Bitcoin's Momentum Feels Unstoppable :
Short Squeeze Shockwave : Over USD 313 million in short positions were liquidated, triggering a cascade of forced buying. This was not just a squeeze. It was a reckoning.
ETF Inflows Surge : Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw USD 985 million in inflows in a single day as institutions quietly allocate 1% to 2% of portfolio to crypto. This is strategic conviction, not retail hype.
Fed Rate Cut Expectations : With signs of economic slowing and a US government shutdown, markets are pricing in a possible Fed ct. Lower rates weaken the dollar and boost risk assets. Bitcoin thrives in this environment.
With the current shutdown of the US government, Bitcoin rises. Investors are fleeing fiscal uncertainty and turning to decentralised assets as a store of resilience.
October 's Bullish Legacy : "Uptober" is here. Historically October has been a breakout month for Bitcoin. This year - it is living up to the legend.
Wall Street' s Expectations :
Bernstein sees Bitcoin climbing to USD 200,000 betting on sovereign and asset manager demand.
Maxim goes further, calling for USD 210,000, the most aggressive forecast among major firms.
Average Target : Wall Street 's year end 2025 average sits at USD 156,000, signaling broad belief in another growth cycle.
Concluding Thoughts
Bitcoin is no longer fringe - it is front and center and the world' s biggest money managers are finally speaking its language.
I believe that Bitcoin will continue its upward momentum in autumn and may reach USD 150,000 before the end of 2025.
Exciting times are ahead for Bitcoin investors.
