Which Month Did $BTC Fall the Most?
So if you’re buying into the "Sell in May" theory, here’s what the monthly performance from May to October looks like:
- May: -7.94%
- June: -0.35%
- July: +7.35%
- August: +1.75%
- September: -3.77%
- October: +21.89%
💥 October is the clear winner with a +21.89% increase. But May and September are typically the weakest months.
That said, summer is full of volatility. Take 2017, for example – it was an exception where Bitcoin surged in the summer thanks to the ICO boom. But 2021? A nightmare – with -35.31% in May and a -73.29% drop in September.
