The price of Bitcoin stood at $124,196 on Thursday morning. However, the price has cooled down to trade at $120,640.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">According to <em>binance.com<\/em>, Bitcoin traded at $124,196 at around 6 am on Thursday. However, as the prices have come down, the crypto was trading at $120,640 as of 9:45 am, which is 0.8% higher in the previous 24 hours, with a circulating supply of 19.91 million.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cBitcoin surged past $124,000 for the first time, setting a new all-time high before easing. The rally was fuelled by strong institutional demand and growing expectations of a September interest rate cut, with CME FedWatch now showing a 93.7% probability. Softer-than-expected US CPI data at 2.7% y\/y boosted optimism, though a core inflation uptick to 3.1% could keep the Fed cautious,&#8221; said Himanshu Maradiya, founder and chairman of CIFDAQ.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Ethereum also climbed near its 2021 peak, trading at $4,717. Institutional inflows remain a key driver BTC ETFs added over $3.6 billion in the past month, while corporate and sovereign treasuries now hold 3.64 million BTC, or 17% of supply. The markets may experience consolidation between $120K and $125K, but strong structural demand and limited supply will support further gains through the end of the year, he added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><strong>Bitcoin Price Prediction 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">According to CoinSwitch Markets Desk, \u201cBTC has broken through the resistance zone between $122K-$123K, its previous October 2021 peak. Traders now eye $135,000 as the next possible target, with the recent breakout validated by rising ETF flows and macro tailwinds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Ethereum (ETH) is leading the mid-cap charge. Today\u2019s rally pushed ETH up about 8%, climbing to roughly $4,630\u2013$4,750, and positioning it just shy of its 2021 ATH. ETH spot ETFs pulled in $523M as inflows.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Fundamental momentum is further supported by whale accumulation, with on-chain data showing large addresses adding to positions ahead of this rally.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-08-at-16.46.30-2025-07-4288ce65f2e878c717819ce8b60fc7c8.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/mohammad-haris-21410.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Mohammad Haris<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Haris is Deputy News Editor (Business) at news18.com.
