Bitcoin (BTC) climbed past $120,000 for the first time in over six weeks, lifted by weak US jobs figures, the US government shutdown, and growing bets on rate cuts. 
With October kicking off strongly, some analysts are calling for a year-end rally to $200,000. Yet one expert cautioned that such a surge is unlikely, citing mathematical improbabilities, time constraints, historical precedents, and market dynamics.
BeInCrypto Markets data showed that BTC has gained 5.5% so far this month, living up to its ‘Uptober’ reputation. At press time, it was trading at $120,254, up 1.02% in the past 24 hours.
Now, several signals are aligning to suggest the rally could extend much further. One key signal is the Pi Cycle Top Indicator, which uses 111-day and 350-day simple moving averages to predict cycle peaks. The indicator remains far from signaling a top, suggesting that BTC has more room to grow.
“Pi Cycle Top is 65% away from the danger zone. Historically predicted tops almost to the day,” an analyst posted.
The Pi Cycle Indicator:

But, how far can BTC go this year? Well, many analysts believe that $200,000 is an achievable target. For instance, in late August, asset manager Bitwise predicted that BTC would reach this price level by year’s end.
Now, other analysts are pointing to chart patterns and historical analogies to validate this target. Analyst Tech Lead noted that BTC’s long-term trend remains intact within its logarithmic growth channel, with technical signals suggesting further upside potential.
“Bitcoin still on-trend for $200,000 by year-end. The mistake is not understanding BTC moves exponentially – the higher the price, the faster the movement. Log-chart is the only way to track this channel. Triple-top, ascending triangle – TA says this blows through higher,” he said.
Another market watcher compared Bitcoin’s current trajectory to gold’s explosive run in the 1970s. 
They suggested that Bitcoin, often seen as digital gold, is showing similar structural patterns on the chart. If the parallel holds, the analyst argued, a $200,000 price target could be realistic within the current cycle.
Bitcoin has crossed $117K, reclaiming the Trader’s Realized Price ($116K).

This shift puts BTC back in the BULL phase of the cycle indicator.

Furthermore, seasonality adds to the bullish outlook. According to Coinglass data, Bitcoin’s average Q4 return is 79.26%. At current levels around $120,000, even if BTC matched that average, the price would rise to over $215,000. 
Despite these signals, attorney and Bitcoin proponent Joe Carlasare contends a $200,000 year-end price is ‘very unlikely.’ He outlined several factors to support his argument.
Carlasare highlighted that BTC remains $80,000 short of the target, with only 90 days left (about 60 trading days on CME). He highlighted that achieving this requires an average daily gain of $850 without significant pullbacks or consolidations.
“Bitcoin rarely sustained that pace of appreciation over a 3-month period, even in its strongest bull runs. Only a couple examples pre-2018,” he remarked. 
Carlasare added that as prices climb, market capitalization growth demands exponentially more capital. Thus, reaching $200,000 would necessitate billions in inflows amid unlocked sellers between $150,000 and $190,000.

A car was rammed into pedestrians and at least one person was stabbed as worshippers arrived to celebrate Yom Kippur.

Police on Thursday shot dead a man who they said was responsible for deadly car ramming and stabbing attacks in which two victims from the Jewish community were killed close to a synagogue in Manchester, in northwest England.
Three more victims of the attack are in a serious condition.

The attacker drove a car into pedestrians before engaging in a six-minute stabbing spree, according to British police. Later on Thursday, counterterrorism police declared it a “terrorism incident” and identified the attacker.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said police had been deployed to synagogues across the country in response to the attack, which took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
“Earlier today, on Yom Kippur, the holiest day for the Jewish community, a vile individual committed a terrorist attack that attacked Jews because they are Jews, and attacked Britain because of our values,” Starmer said.
Witnesses told police they saw a car being rammed into people walking on the street close to the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, an outer suburb of Manchester. They also reported a man being stabbed.
Paramedics arrived at the scene at 9:41am (08:41 GMT) and were tending to members of the public.
The National Health Service (NHS) North West Ambulance Service said in a statement that its crews had treated patients at the scene, and critically injured people had been transported to hospital.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers were called to the scene at 9:31am (08:31 GMT) after a member of the public reported “a car being driven towards members of the public, and one man had been stabbed” outside Heaton Park Shul, a synagogue in Crumpsall, Manchester, where people had gathered to observe Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish faith.
By 9:37am, GMP had declared a major incident and designated Operation Plato, the code given for a “marauding terrorist attack”. A minute later, at 9:38am, shots were fired by GMP firearms officers at a man believed to be the attacker.
Paramedics arrived at 9:41am (08:41 GMT) and treated four people for stab wounds and impact injuries from the suspect’s vehicle, while critically injured victims were transported to hospital. A bomb disposal team arrived later.
At 11:15am (10:15 GMT), authorities announced that two of the injured people had died, as had the suspect.
At 3pm (14:00 GMT), Laurence Taylor, the head of counterterrorism policing in the United Kingdom, declared the attack a terrorist incident and said two arrests had been made in relation to it.
 
The attack took place at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue, which is located in the north Manchester district of Crumpsall.
Crumpsall is an outer suburb, home to about 18,000 people, according to Manchester City Council. Trams and bus services feed from the suburb to the city centre, 5km (three miles) away.
There has been a Jewish congregation in Crumpsall since 1935. The large Ashkenazi Orthodox synagogue was completed in 1967.

According to the police, two people died in the attack, while three others have been seriously injured. Their identities have not been revealed.
GMP said the man believed to have carried out the attack is 35-year-old Jihad al-Shamie, a British citizen of Syrian heritage, though they noted that “formal identification is yet to take place”.
Investigators are still “working to understand the motivation behind the attack”, police added.
GMP chief Sir Stephen Watson said the suspect was wearing “a vest that looked like an explosive device”, but police later confirmed it was examined and found not to be viable.
Three other people have also been arrested: two men in their 30s and a woman in her 60s. They are being held on suspicion of “commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism”, and remain in custody.
Starmer left a meeting with European leaders in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, early to deal with the incident.
“I’m already able to say that additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues across the country, and we will do everything to keep our Jewish community safe,” Starmer said.
In an X post, Starmer also wrote: “The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific.”
Hamish Falconer, a member of the British parliament from Starmer’s Labour Party, wrote in an X post: “I’m horrified to hear of this incident at a synagogue I’ve been proud to visit. My thoughts are with everyone affected.”
On Thursday afternoon, Starmer held an emergency meeting at his office in Downing Street, London, to discuss the attack. Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy and Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley were also seen arriving to attend the meeting.
The attack took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest and most solemn day in the Jewish calendar, devoted to atonement and reflection. On this day, Jews around the world fast and spend long hours in prayer. Even people who rarely go to synagogue usually attend on this day.
At Heaton Park Synagogue, worshippers were due to gather at 9am for Shacharis, the morning prayer service, followed by a special children’s service later in the day. Synagogues traditionally hold multiple services throughout Yom Kippur.
Manchester itself is home to about 30,000 Jews, the community’s largest congregation in the UK outside London.
Many in the neighbourhood near the synagogue were in a state of disbelief on Thursday evening, struggling to process the attack.
“There’s everyone here,” 41-year-old Sam Martin told Al Jazeera. “Muslims, Jews, everyone. I’ve known nothing but love and kindness from our Jewish community. I’m just shocked this could happen.”
The police said they “declared PLATO” following the attack. This is a codeword used by the British police to refer to an incident that is being investigated as a “marauding terrorist attack” (MTA), one in which attackers rapidly move through a location, aiming to kill or injure as many people as possible. This does not mean the incident has been declared a terrorist attack.
The police have opened a public portal, a Casualty Bureau, for people to inquire about their family and friends who may have been at the scene. The portal also asks individuals who were involved in the incident and are now safe to submit a report online.
Yes. Instances of anti-Semitism have been on the rise in the UK recently.
Community Security Trust (CST), a UK-based charity for the welfare of British Jews, reported 3,528 instances of anti-Semitism in 2024, the second highest recorded by CST in a single calendar year. Nineteen of the instances recorded in 2024 involved damage to synagogues.
The highest was in 2023, when 4,296 instances were recorded.
Since the onset of Israel’s war on Gaza, which began following a Hamas-led attack on army outposts and villages in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, an uptick in anti-Semitic and Islamophobic incidents has been reported globally.

Leading cryptocurrencies and stocks rose higher on Thursday, as investors shrugged off government shutdown concerns.
Bitcoin extended its October rally, breaking past $121,000 for the first time since mid-August. The apex cryptocurrency was only 3.43% away from its all-time high. JPMorgan analysts lifted their year-end price target for Bitcoin to $165,000.
Ethereum also topped $4,500 late afternoon, before easing to $4,700 as of this writing.
Cryptocurrency liquidations hit $393 million in the last 24 hours, with over $274 million in bearish shorts wiped out. About $435 million in Bitcoin shorts risked liquidation if the apex cryptocurrency moves up to $123,000, 
Bitcoin’s open interest rose further by 3.02% in the last 24 hours, suggesting an influx of fresh money into its derivatives market.
"Greed" sentiment prevailed in the cryptocurrency market, according to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index.
Top Gainers (24 Hours) 
The global cryptocurrency market capitalization rose to $4.13 trillion, increasing 1.55% in the last 24 hours.
Stocks closed at record highs on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 78.62 points, or 0.17%, to finish at 46,519.72. The S&P 500 closed up 0.06% at 6,715.35, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.39% to end at 22,844.05.
The rally comes amid the federal government shutdown, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent deeming it a direct threat to economic momentum and American livelihoods.
Bessent also confirmed ongoing trade negotiations with China, expecting a “big breakthrough.” The trade truce between the two countries expires on Nov. 10.
On-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant stated that Bitcoin's dynamics fit within the STH-MVRV pricing range, a metric that measures the average profitability of recent buyers.
The upper limit of this range was at $130,000, representing a level where short-term holders aggressively lock in profits.
"Bitcoin is currently in a state of equilibrium within the established volatility corridor," CryptoQuant added. "If current dynamics persist, a move toward $130,000 appears realistic."
Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Rekt Capital indicated that Bitcoin's daily close above $120,000 is a bullish signal, with an "identical" move in mid-August preceding a jump to $123,400.

Markets are rising, yet Pi Coin keeps lagging, and the PI Network Price still looks capped. Some traders now prefer clearer setups over headlines about Worldcoin. That shift pushes attention to Remittix as a DeFi project with a live roadmap.

The PI Network Price is testing $0.366 after weeks inside a descending triangle. With support at $0.345, a clean break could aim for $0.385 to $0.40 and give Pi Coin its first real upside move in weeks. Until then, the PI Network price stays range-bound and needs volume.
Many compare Pi Coin momentum with Worldcoin buzz while hunting the best DeFi projects 2025 and low gas fee crypto ideas that can scale.

Weekly buy volume is huge, and the price jumped about 150 percent in a few days. After tagging the monthly resistance at $2.00, sellers hit back, and a cool-off began. A deeper pull into the 50 percent zone near $1.50 to $1.520 or even the key demand at $1.42 would be healthy before the next push.
If bulls hold those supports and rebuild the structure, a break over $2.00 can target $3.50 to $3.70. Compared to Pi Coin, WUD still fits early-stage crypto investment and decentralized exchange momentum.
Remittix has raised over $25.2M from over 658M tokens sold at $0.1080 each. Listings are confirmed on BitMart and LBank, and the Beta Wallet launches on 15 September 2025.
