Bitcoin reached a new all-time high, briefly crossing $112,000 on July 9, 2025, driven by institutional interest and market optimism.
The surge was fueled by a significant liquidation of leveraged short positions, resulting in over $226 million in Bitcoin trades being wiped out in a single day.
Key drivers behind the rally included a short squeeze acceleration, strong ETF inflows, supportive macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical updates, and positive on-chain signals.
The rally signals growing trust, increased mainstream adoption, and Bitcoin's evolution as a serious asset class, supported by institutional confidence and market participation.
