Historical data shows that in October Bitcoin indeed exhibits a strong positive return tendency. From 2010 to 2024, the monthly returns in October were almost all positive—only 2014 and 2018 were exceptions. Even more noteworthy is that October 2017, 2021, and 2023 all marked the start of, or continued, a significant uptrend, with gains of +46%, +41%, and +29%, respectively.
The backdrop for 2026 is different: the market is still in an extreme fear range, with Bitcoin trading around $58,000–$60,000. But historically, October rebounds often occur at times when market sentiment is equally bleak. If the historical patterns hold, $60,000 could be the key turning point for this cycle.
