From current levels, reaching Citi’s target would require another gain of roughly 30%.
$90K Is the First Real Test
Bitcoin’s rebound has already cleared the mid-$80,000 area that repeatedly capped price earlier in September.
The next important zone is $90,000. A sustained move above it would strengthen the bullish structure and put $100,000 back in focus before Citi’s $113,000 target becomes relevant.
That continues the same recovery path outlined when BTC was still fighting to reclaim the low-$80,000 range.
