Fed Hike Odds Just Collapsed From 70% to 17%. Citi Thinks $BTC Goes to $113K The forecast came a day before the data that might prove it right. On October 2, the September jobs report showed the US economy added just 29,000 positions, far below the 80,000-plus economists expected. The miss, combined with softer inflation data earlier in the week and New York Fed President John Williams signaling no urgency to act, sent the odds of an October rate hike from roughly 70% to just 17% on CME's FedWatch tool, with Kalshi and Polymarket pricing nearly identical numbers. $BTC responded immediately, climbing about 2.7% to touch $86,885. One day earlier, before any of that data existed, Citi raised its 12-month Bitcoin target to $113,000 from $82,000, pointing to returning ETF inflows, stronger crypto activity and improving macro conditions. The bank's reasoning wasn't built around the jobs report, but Friday's number is now the first real test of whether that thesis holds. Getting there from current levels requires another 30% move. Citi's own roadmap treats $90,000 as the gate: clear it, and the path opens toward $100,000 before the full target comes into view. The number working against the setup: spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $92.9 million in net outflows the same day Citi published its call, meaning the rally so far is running on price momentum, not fresh institutional buying. And October's reprieve isn't a verdict. Traders are still pricing in a December hike, which means the $113,000 question doesn't get fully answered for another two months. #BTC Price Analysis# #Altcoin Season# #Macro Insights#
