Katie Stockton says $93K is the level that would confirm a new Bitcoin bull market
An analyst puts the bull market test at $93,000
Katie Stockton, founder of the research firm Fairlead Strategies, says bitcoin would need to trade above $93,000 before she would treat a new bull market as official. She made the case in a Bitcoin Magazine video published on September 26, 2026.
In the video, Stockton explains that a chart tool called the cloud model points to $93,000 as the level where a new bitcoin bull cycle becomes confirmed. A bull market is a long stretch of rising prices.
She also points to the $83,000 to $84,000 area as a resistance zone. Resistance is a price area where selling has previously slowed or stopped a rise.
What the video covers
- Stockton names $93,000 as the level that would confirm a new bitcoin bull cycle, based on the cloud model.
- She identifies $83,000–$84,000 as resistance.
- The video describes a bitcoin rally of more than 50% from recent lows and a break above the 200-day moving average, which is the average price over the past 200 days.
- Other signals discussed include a flag pattern breakout and the monthly stochastic oscillator, two chart-based measures.
- She also discusses what could make her take a defensive stance going into the fourth quarter.
Whose views these are
The price levels and signals in the video are Stockton's own technical analysis. They are opinions about chart patterns, not confirmed market outcomes.
The video carries a disclaimer stating that the views expressed belong to the participants and do not necessarily reflect the policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, or affiliated entities. It also states the content is for informational and educational purposes only and is not investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice.
What is confirmed
It is confirmed that Bitcoin Magazine published the video on September 26, 2026, that it was written up by Patrick Green, and that Stockton appears in it discussing the levels and chart signals listed above.
What is still unclear
The supplied material does not provide the full reasoning behind the $93,000 figure, does not list the exact conditions that would make Stockton defensive, and does not say when she expects any of these levels to be reached. No target date, forecast, or outcome is given.
Why the levels get attention
Stockton's comments give readers a concrete reference point for how one technical analyst is framing the current bitcoin market: a rally from recent lows, a move above a widely used average, and a specific price that she says would mark a new cycle. Her framework describes conditions she is watching rather than a guaranteed path for the price.
