One year ago Bitcoin set ATH. When will Bitcoin repeat this?

I think the US-China trade tensions and the threat of new tariffs in October 2025 created panic in the market and after Trump announced 100% additional tariffs on China, there was a huge sell-off and liquidation in the crypto market, which then fell by 40% to 50% from the peak price in a very short time. Another reason is that when Bitcoin set a new record, some old investors sold to secure their profits, so when a large amount was sold at the same time, a kind of fear and suspicion was created in the minds of new buyers and most investors started selling when the price dropped rapidly. And that is how the situation was created.

But now, for Bitcoin to reach a new ATH again, big investors will have to continue buying together. There is no specific time for this to happen.

one year ago on October 6, 2025 Bitcoin set its all-time high of $126 198.07 as Coinmarketcap shows: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/

unfortunately, that price level did not hold for long due to a number of factors, including macroeconomic ones. notable among these were the tensions between the US and Iran which had already emerged by then and escalated into open conflict in February, as well as Trump’s "tariff madness," which disrupted global trade. long-term holders who began selling off their Bitcoin also played a role. in your opinion, what factors drove the drop in Bitcoin's price back then and when might we see a return to that all-time high?

You have mentioned quite a number of factors that truly did affected the price as at that time,  in as much as Bitcoin is decentralized and has got some level of independence,  it is not completely independent of the global economic,  it affects it in a way or the other and that is why whenever there's economic unrest, we see some price fluctuations with Bitcoin,  investors reacts to these economic situations and in turn it affects their behaviours which subsequently affects the dynamics of Bitcoin because their collective investments impacts the valuation and pricing of Bitcoin in a way.

Another factor responsible for that which we witnessed at the time was the Bitcoin cycle.  As a Bitcoin enthusiast,  I want to believe you understand the Bitcoin cycle and various activities that takes place at certain points in the cycle,  attaining new ATH is one characteristic we have seen common with Bitcoin at the Bull part of the cycle,  and it was noted that as at the time we saw that Price surge,  Bitcoin was at the Bull run phase which also has been known to be one of the short phases of the cycle,  most times, the Bear has lasted longer than the Bull, then followed by the Halving and then the Bull.  So we are in anticipation of another Bull run wherein we get to experience another ATH  probably far above the most recent.

It doesn't always have to be about the US tariffs or some Trump bullshit. It's normal for the Bitcoin price to correct after achieving an all-time high, like it has always happened in the past too.

I also think people are in so much a rush expecting a new all-time high to happen very soon, but I think it's going to take a good number of months or even a couple of years before the accumulation phase is complete.

The expectations of bitcoin reaching an All Time High in the soonest has been discussed over again. But some people usually forget that bitcoin always pass through a process and pattern before reaching another stage in its cycle. This is not the time to be discussing another all time high when bitcoin just got off the bull season and now experiencing the bear markets. I am not expecting a new all time high now because the market is far from that, it will have to pass some stages before the discussion of a new all time high will be necessitated to be talked about more.
