Bitcoin Defies 'Worst Month' Label with 2.7% Gain in September
Bitcoin defied its reputation as September's worst month by rising 2.7% in September 2026, after gaining 7% in July and 25% in August.
The seasonality data for Bitcoin spans barely a decade, making the -3% average return for September statistically fragile and non-predictive.
Despite this, the Bitcoin price has been up in each of the last three Septembers, with gains of 3.9% in 2023, 7.3% in 2024, and 5.2% in 2025, indicating a trend that may be breaking the mold.
The Bitcoin price must clear $87,498 to erase its yearly loss and $126,198 to confirm a real uptrend, but neither level has been met yet.
