Bitcoin's never finished August green during a midterm election year. That streak might end this month.

Historical patterns aren't predictive, but they give context. Midterm years typically bring volatility and risk-off behavior in August. $BTC breaking that pattern would signal something shifted—whether it's institutional adoption, macro conditions, or just the asset maturing.

Watch how it closes the month. First-time breaks of long patterns often mean the old playbook needs updating.
