October, historically one of the strongest months for Bitcoin (BTC) has already got off to a flyer in what many in the crypto industry label ‘Uptober’.

Trading at around $119,810 at press time, the world’s largest cryptocurrency is up over 2% on the daily and more than 7% on the weekly chart.

The daily trading volume is also picking up, sitting at roughly $67.86 billion after a 2.2% uptick, while the total market cap is back to $2.38 trillion following a 1.83% increase over the past 24 hours.

In other words, the flagship digital asset has climbed to its highest level in over two months, just as the U.S. government officially shut down earlier this week.

Bitcoin price prediction October 2025

Given the month’s reputation as one of the strongest trading months, and since the asset is already climbing toward the $120,000 psychological threshold, Finbold consulted its AI Signals machine learning tool that integrates large language models (LLMs) with momentum-driven market technical indicators. 

Based on the projections, we might see the cryptocurrency hitting a price of $127,734 by the end of October 2025, implying a 6.78% upside from the current levels.

Claude Sonnet 4 was the most bullish LLM, suggesting a potential target of $135,000 (+12.85%), GPT-4o and Grok 3 had a slightly lower number in mind, projecting the price would go up to $123,200 (2.99%) and $125,001 (4.49%), respectively. 

The projections are indeed optimistic, but they could be warranted. For instance, Bitcoin ETFs are gaining traction again, having attracted $676 million in net inflows on Wednesday, October 1, their third straight day of gains. 

What’s more, even some long-standing skeptics are now changing their minds about the asset. One of them is none other than Warren Buffett, who touted the virtues not only of Bitcoin but also gold and silver, some of his least favorite investments over the years.

Technical indicators are in the spotlight as well. Indeed, Bitcoin’s monthly Bollinger Band Width (BBW), a key volatility measure, has compressed to historic lows, flashing a setup that previously preceded explosive rallies of up to 200%.
