Bitcoin hits new all-time high above $125,000 on Sunday, up 11% for the week, fueled by $3.2B in U.S. spot ETF inflows and safe-haven demand amid U.S. government shutdown (CoinDesk). BTC/JPY also reaches record high as Japan's new PM backs easing policies, weakening the yen further.
Mining stocks rally pre-market: Cipher Mining up 5% to $15.40, Iris Energy up 5% to $53, driven by AI/HPC hype, while BTC holds above $123K.
Altcoins like XRP, DOGE, SOL see profit-taking (down 1-2%), but analysts say BTC's bull run is early; watch resistance at $126K, $135K, $140K as realized price crosses 200-week MA signaling more upside potential.
