Bitcoin Prices Reach Fresh, All-Time High Above $124,000

Bitcoin price exceeded $124,000 driven by strong institutional buying and a 93.9% chance of a Federal Reserve rate cut, supporting a 32% gain in 2025, analysts said.

  • On Thursday, August 14, 2025, Bitcoin reached USD 124,002.49 in early Asian trading, driven by trader optimism over potential Federal Reserve rate cuts.
  • MarketWatch shows traders pricing in a 93.9% chance of a rate reduction, with the August 15 PPI release as the next key macro data point.
  • Driving volatility, a surge in short liquidations totaling $90.79 million in 24 hours underscored the rally’s momentum, as public companies led by Michael Saylor’s Strategy increased their BTC holdings.
  • Amid the rally, retail and institutional investors gained confidence, as strong ETF inflows and Bitcoin spot ETF approvals added buying pressure, signaling broader market conviction.
  • Ahead of the Bitcoin halving event, a large concentration of bearish positions remains between $122,800 and $125,500, signaling resistance ahead.
