Bitcoin is about to enter what has historically been its best quarter, which could see the cryptocurrency set a new all-time high by year’s end, one analyst says. The fourth quarter has historically been the best for bitcoin, as the largest crypto has logged an average gain of 57.7% for the quarter, based on data since 2015, according to Dow Jones Market Data. In comparison, the crypto has logged an average gain of 15% in the first quarter, a 30.1% gain in the second quarter and a 6.6% gain in the third quarter. There were only three times over the past 10 years when bitcoin ended the fourth quarter lower. “History favors Q4 as crypto’s powerhouse,” Peter Eberle, chief investment officer at the Castle Funds, said in emailed comments to MarketWatch. To be sure, historical performance does not guarantee future results, and bitcoin’s fourth-quarter performance does not have to follow the seasonal script. Still, if history repeats itself, it may come as a relief to crypto bulls after bitcoin fell 1% to $BTC 113,245 on Tuesday, roughly 9% away from its record high at $124,495.51 on Aug. 14. The crypto last week fell below $1INCH 10,000, a psychologically important level, before recouping some losses. The coin is up about 22% year to date.

BITCOIN IS LEAVING EXCHANGES -- THIS IS NOT WHAT TOPS LOOK LIKE
#Bitcoin withdrawals on Binance just jumped roughly 4x during the recent price dip.
When price moves down but coins leave exchanges, it usually means people are: ✅ Moving $BTC to self-custody ✅ Choosing to hold instead of selling ✅ Taking advantage of the lower prices to stack
This is not the behavior you see at market tops. At tops, coins flow back to exchanges to be sold.
Right now, the opposite is happening -- coins are being pulled off exchanges.
Sentiment on Crypto Twitter is bearish, but the on-chain data doesn’t show panic. It shows people positioning for the longer term.
