Bitcoin stands at an important technical juncture. Price is squeezed between the resistance of the neckline at around $94,000 and an upward-sloping support line.

On the 8-hour chart, BTC is creating higher lows, a sign of easing selling pressure as buyers take control little by little. The rising trendline has served well over the last few weeks as a strong demand area, has been tested several times, and has held firm.

The move toward the $93,400-$94,000 area is the most important. That zone used to be a strong supply area, where sellers kept pushing the price down, so breaking above it cleanly is important for a continued uptrend.

If this level is closed above with good volume, it could open the way to $105,000-$108,000. According to analysts, this could bring more buying back in, investors on the sidelines jumping in, and also some short positions unwinding, helping the price climb higher.

Although the upside does look good, failure to break above the neckline could see Bitcoin pull back. A rejection here might push BTC down toward the rising trend line support near $89,000. 

If this support doesn’t hold, the risk could rise toward the historically important support level of $76,000-$77,000. This lower zone has acted as a strong place for buyers to enter at lower prices in past cycles.

The market remains neutral until Bitcoin breaks above $94,000. Traders are watching for confirmation from trading volume since weak follow-through could raise the odds of a short-term drop. 

That said, technical watchers assert that even if prices pull back, the overall trend could remain bullish as long as the long-term horizontal support holds.

Bitcoin Shows Long-Term Strength

Bitcoin has printed an even larger pattern since 2021: a long inverse head-and-shoulders. Every time Bitcoin tests important horizontal support and makes higher lows, it keeps moving through several cycles.

According to market analysis, a clean break above the rising resistance may set up a move to $180,000, which would match earlier cycle extensions.

However, the bullish outlook does depend on holding above these key levels. If BTC fails to hold horizontal support, consolidation might continue longer before the next big uptrend.

Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision

The post Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin traded at $116,236 as of 14:04 UTC on Sept. 17, up about 1% in the past 24 hours, holding above a key level as markets await the Federal Reserve’s policy announcement. Analysts’ comments Dean Crypto Trades noted on X that bitcoin is only about 7% above its post-election local peak, while the S&P 500 has risen 9% and gold has surged 36% during the same period. He said bitcoin has compressed more than those assets, making it likely to lead the next larger move, though it could form a “lower high” before extending further. He added that ether could join in once it breaks $5,000 and enters price discovery. Lark Davis pointed to bitcoin’s history around September FOMC meetings, saying every September decision since 2020 — except during the 2022 bear market — has preceded a strong rally. He stressed that the pattern is less about the Fed’s rate choice itself and more about seasonal dynamics, arguing that bitcoin tends to thrive in this period heading into “Uptober.” CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis According to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model, bitcoin rose about 0.9% during the Sept. 16–17 analysis window, climbing from $115,461 to $116,520. BTC reached a session high of $117,317 at 07:00 UTC on Sept. 17 before consolidating. Following that peak, bitcoin tested the $116,400–$116,600 range multiple times, confirming it as a short-term support zone. In the final hour of the session, between 11:39 and 12:38 UTC, BTC attempted a breakout: prices moved narrowly between $116,351 and $116,376 before spiking to $116,551 at 12:34 on higher volume. This confirmed a consolidation-breakout pattern, though the gains were modest. Overall, bitcoin remains firm above $116,000, with support around $116,400 and resistance near $117,300.
