#RedSeptember
Historically, September is Bitcoin's weakest month, with average losses of about 6% over the past 12 years and median declines around 5%. Since 2013, Bitcoin has closed September in the red 8 out of 12 times, including significant drops such as a 19% fall in 2014 and 13% in 2019. September losses of 8% in 2020, 7.3% in 2021, and 3.1% in 2022 have been notable, although there were gains of 4% in 2023 and 7% in 2024. The persistent pattern is driven by seasonal selling, portfolio rebalancing, tax-related moves, and market volatility typical in this month .
Bitcoin's September price declines often coincide with broader market patterns, including weakening institutional demand and psychological bearishness among traders, reinforcing the seasonal dip. Despite these drops, Bitcoin typically recovers in the final quarter, making September a historically tough but potentially strategic month for investors to watch
