[Bitcoin Drops Nearly 5% in October, First October Decline in Six Years] Bitcoin recorded a nearly 5% decline in October 2025, ending its streak of consecutive gains. This marks the first October decline in six years. Earlier, Bitcoin hit an all-time high of over $126,000 on October 6, but its price subsequently fell sharply, briefly dropping to around $104,000 between October 10 and 11. This month's performance contrasts sharply with the gains seen in gold and the Nasdaq index, highlighting the rotation phenomenon among assets. Despite the poor performance in October, Bitcoin has still risen over 16% since the beginning of the year.
