Bitcoin’s wild ride: $137K moonshot or $93K doom drop?
As charts in the cryptocurrency market continue to look green, Bitcoin (BTC) is once again testing the nerves of traders as it hovers near crucial price levels that could dictate its next major move, brushing against a critical support zone that could make or break its trajectory.

Indeed, the $115,440 level stands out as the most important short-term support for Bitcoin, and if it can maintain this footing, momentum could carry it toward $137,300 as the next upside target, according to the analysis by popular crypto trading expert Ali Martinez in an X post on September 18.
On the other hand, failure to hold this line risks a steep retracement back toward the $93,600 range, essentially wiping out the gains from the last few months. In Martinez’s words:
“Hold it, and $137K is next. Lose it, and $93K comes into play.”
Meanwhile, the technical picture echoes the sentiment. A chart shared by fellow crypto analyst Matthew Hyland shows BTC pressing against local highs after a weeks-long recovery from early September lows near $107,000. The move has put it back in the upper ranges of its multi-month channel, but it has yet to convincingly break out.

Currently, the flagship decentralized finance (DeFi) asset is changing hands at the price of $117,296.44, recording an increase of 0.2% in the last 24 hours, gaining 2.77% across the previous seven days, and accumulating an advance of 1.94% on its monthly chart.
For now, Bitcoin remains caught between bullish hopes of a $137K moonshot and bearish fears of a $93K doom drop. The next few days could decide which path the market takes and whether Bitcoin’s latest rally has the strength to take it to new heights.
