Galaxy Research argues that Bitcoin's bear market has ended, setting the stage for a potential rally to $125,000. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹76,95,914 ($80,840.00), up 0.3% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Bitcoin.com, with live market data added, as of Wed, 28 Oct 2026 02:00:02 UTC.

Why it matters

Galaxy's analysis suggests a shift in market dynamics, with reduced selling pressure and renewed optimism, potentially influencing investor sentiment and market trends.

Key takeaways
  • Galaxy sees Bitcoin's bear market ending in June.
  • Reduced selling pressure and fiscal factors support bullish outlook.
  • Bitcoin's current price at $80,586, with 24h gain of 0.53%.

Galaxy Research has predicted that Bitcoin is poised for a significant rally, potentially reaching $125,000, based on the assertion that its bear market ended in June. The firm argues that the diminished selling pressure and a shift in market dynamics are creating a favorable environment for such a move.

The analysis highlights fiscal pressures and a lack of strong investor interest as additional factors supporting this bullish outlook. This suggests that Galaxy believes the market has transitioned from a period of decline to one of potential growth.

While Galaxy's total value locked (TVL) stands at $121.49 million, marking a 3.0% decrease over the past week according to DeFiLlama, the broader market context shows a relatively stable crypto market cap of $2.77 trillion. Bitcoin itself has seen a modest 24-hour gain of 0.53%, currently trading at $80,586.

The Fear & Greed Index sits at 51, indicating a neutral sentiment among investors. This suggests that while there is some optimism, the market is not yet in a state of extreme greed or fear.

The potential for Bitcoin to reach $125,000 will depend on sustained positive momentum and the ability to overcome resistance levels. Investors should watch for further signs of increased buying pressure and positive market sentiment.
