September is usually a bad month for Bitcoin
Bitcoin has a well-established tendency to slide in September.
Since 2013, Bitcoin has closed in the red for eight of the past twelve months, with average returns slipping about −3.80%.Market veterans call it the “September Effect,” a month when traders tend to lock in profits after summer rallies or reposition portfolios ahead of Q4. Since 1928, for instance, the S&P 500 index’s returns in September have averaged around -1.20%.
Often trading in sync with broader risk assets, Bitcoin can become a victim of this seasonal drag.
However, since 2013, every green September for Bitcoin has come only after a bruising August, a pattern that hints of sellers front-running.
