Bitcoin Briefly Misses Record High, Leaving Investors Curious About Future

A brief but intense surge in Bitcoin’s price saw it approach the all-time high of $124,128. However, the cryptocurrency failed to break through the record barrier, reaching $122,604 before a slight retreat. This marks the closest Bitcoin has come since its record-breaking peak in mid-August. Analysts attributed this surge to positive investor sentiment fueled by growing institutional interest and the ongoing government shutdown uncertainty.
