Bitcoin Defies Gravity: Stunning 2025 Rally Leaves Traders in Awe
Bitcoin just schooled Wall Street—again. The OG crypto is painting another masterpiece on its volatility canvas, leaving traditional assets in the dust.
The numbers don''t lie
No need for creative accounting here. Bitcoin''s chart looks like a SpaceX trajectory—vertical, relentless, and leaving skeptics scrambling for explanations.
Institutional FOMO reloaded
Hedge funds that dismissed BTC as ''digital tulips'' last year are now quietly allocating 3% portfolios. Funny how nine-zero price tags focus the mind.
The cynical take
Somewhere in Manhattan, a Goldman Sachs VP is explaining to clients why Bitcoin''s success is actually bad for Bitcoin. Meanwhile, hodlers keep stacking sats.
This isn''t a rally—it''s a reckoning. The market''s finally realizing what crypto natives knew all along: money''s getting rewired, and Bitcoin''s holding the soldering iron.

Understanding the Surge in Bitcoin’s CAGR
Crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr. highlighted the notable increase in Bitcoin’s four-year CAGR. In April, the rate had dropped to as low as 7%. This reflects Bitcoin’s strong performance early in the year, which saw a 9.54% growth in January followed by declines of 17.5% in February and 2.19% in March. By April, prices had dipped to a low of $74,446.
However, therebounded swiftly. According to Adler Jr.’s June report, Bitcoin’s CAGR has now risen to 31%. He asserted that this rapid recovery demonstrates how quickly long-term trends can shift when strong buyer momentum enters the market. Despite this rise, the 31% CAGR indicator remains below historical bull market peaks, signaling potential for further growth.
October’s Ambitious $168,000 Target
Adler Jr. forecasts Bitcoin’s price could reach $168,000 by October. This projection is based on the assumption that momentum in the futures market and leverage usage will continue.
The $168,000 target is further supported by accelerating growth and historical patterns observed in previous bull runs. Adler Jr. believes that current market conditions and growing optimism could facilitate reaching these levels.
Debating Risk-Adjusted Returns
On the other hand, X userproposed an alternative perspective on interpreting the CAGR indicator. Manu suggested dividing the CAGR by standard deviation to eliminate volatility and highlight risk-adjusted returns.
While Adler Jr. agrees this approach could offer clearer insights into market performance, he emphasized a critical aspect, stating, “The real turning point occurs when investors start taking profits based on expected returns.” He warns that when Bitcoin’s trading volume exceeds 1 million BTC, the risk of a bear market increases as large-scale profit-taking disrupts the supply-demand balance.
