Bitcoin Price Forecast: BTC Holds Steady Near $113,000 as Traders Brace for Fed Rate Decision and Big Tech Earnings
Bitcoin maintains its bullish stance just below the $113K threshold as market participants await two major catalysts that could reshape the entire digital asset landscape.
The Federal Reserve's Next Move
All eyes turn to Washington as Jerome Powell's interest rate decision looms - a single announcement that could send shockwaves through crypto markets. Traders position themselves cautiously, knowing the Fed's words carry more weight than any blockchain protocol.
Tech Earnings Tsunami Approaches
Meanwhile, corporate America prepares to unveil its quarterly report cards. Major technology companies stand ready to either validate or crush the AI-driven market euphoria that's been fueling risk assets. Because nothing says 'stable monetary policy' like betting your portfolio on whether tech CEOs beat earnings estimates by a few pennies.
The $113,000 level becomes crypto's latest psychological battleground, with Bitcoin either poised for another leg up or facing the reality that sometimes even digital gold can't ignore old-school economics.

For context, SK Hynix is a memory chipmaker operating under South Korea’s SK Group. Following the results, its shares on the Korea Stock Exchange (KRX) gained over 7% today. Year-to-date, the shares have grown by over 200%.
SK Hynix Gears Up for Capacity Boost in 2026
Along with bumper results, SK Hynix said its memory chip supply for next year is already fully booked. As a result, the company plans to expand production capacity in 2026 to capitalize on the AI boom.
Additionally, the company stated that it sees a long-lasting “super cycle” in the global memory chip market, with limited supply growth at a time when demand for AI technologies is rapidly accelerating.
Meanwhile, SK Hynix said it will start supplying its new HBM4 chips this quarter after securing orders from customers. This marks the sixth generation of its HBM technology. The company also noted that HBM (high bandwidth memory) product demand has been outpacing supply since 2023 and expects the market to stay tight through 2027 as it continues expanding production.
What Is NVDA’s Stock Price Target?
SK Hynix powers Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips, making it a critical part of Nvidia’s success. Their growth is tied together because stronger AI demand means bigger business for both companies in the future. Since SK Hynix isn’t listed in the U.S., investors often look at Nvidia’s stock outlook.
Turning to Wall Street, analysts remain highly bullish on NVDA stock. According to TipRanks, the stock has received a Strong Buy consensus rating, with 35 Buys, one Hold, and one Sell assigned in the last three months. The average Nvidia stock price target is $225.0, suggesting a potential upside of 12% from the current level.
