$BTC up 7.91% from Sept 1 close to Oct 1 open.

But here's the reality check:

• Monthly gains don't tell the full story. You could still be underwater if you bought the local top.
• Price still trading below the cycle high. We're not in price discovery mode yet.
• Your entry point matters more than the headline performance. DCA or get rekt.

Context > hype. Know where you stand in the cycle.
