Source: TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ever since BTC\u2019s aforementioned ATH in August, the bears seemed to have dominated the market, as evidenced by some of the wild swings in the past seven weeks. September, which is historically a bearish month, provided a relief rally after the US Federal Reserve lowered the interest rates for the first time in 2025, but that was short-lived.<\/p>\n<p>The overall negative sentiment prevailed, and BTC slipped below $109,000 at the end of the month. However, the bulls returned to the scene at the start of the current business week, and especially since October kicked off.<\/p>\n<p>In the past four days alone, the primary cryptocurrency has added over ten grand and skyrocketed past $120,000 just minutes ago for the first time since those ATH levels mentioned above.<\/p>\n<p>This impressive surge has propelled a massive increase in BTC\u2019s market cap, which is now close to $2.4 trillion once again. Many altcoins have followed suit, led by Zcash\u2019s massive 40% <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/zcash-zec-explodes-by-60-daily-bitcoin-btc-taps-7-week-high-market-watch\/\">surge<\/a>. XMR, CRO, HASH, ENA, APT, and ASTER are next in terms of daily gains.<\/p>\n<p>Data from CoinGlass shows that the total value of wrecked positions in the past day is up to over $430 million. The number of liquidated traders is also on the rise, surpassing 127,000.<\/p>\n<p>The single-largest liquidated order took place on Hyperliquid and was worth over $11 million.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1415047\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1415047\" style=\"width: 1365px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1415047 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-02-191611.png\" alt=\"Liquidated Positions Daily.
