Bitcoin Price Targets $113K as FOMC Meeting and Bearish September Loom: Your Weekly Recap

Although the week went rather sluggishly in terms of price movements, there were some big news stories that went out, and the upcoming FOMC meeting could shape the next few months.

But first, let’s recap some of the price highlights. Bitcoin experienced some enhanced volatility last Friday when it jumped to $111,500 only to fall hard to $107,500 within hours. The following few days were not any better, as BTC kept digging new local lows at just over $107,000.

It wasn’t until Tuesday evening that the bulls finally managed to step up and halt the freefalls. BTC spiked from under $110,000 to over $111,000 and remained there for around 24 hours before the bears pushed it south to $109,500 yesterday.

Nevertheless, the buyers resumed control since that daily low and drove the cryptocurrency north again. Just a few hours ago, bitcoin jumped to a weekly high of $113,350 before its progress ran into a wall. As of press time, the largest digital asset remains inches below $113,000.

More volatility is expected in the following weeks, especially since the mid-September FOMC meeting, in which the Federal Reserve is anticipated to finally cut the interest rates. For now, though, BTC remains slightly in the green weekly, while many analysts continue to speculate whether September 2025 will continue a long negative tradition of price losses or will this one be different.

In terms of notable weekly price performances, BCH and POL stand with double-digit gains, while CRO has dropped by 11% after the spectacular rally last week.
