Maybe the real “Uptober” trade starts before October. If traders already expect $BTC to perform well this month, they don’t need to wait for October to arrive. Some will position early, which can pull part of the expected move forward. That makes this October different. Instead of asking whether Bitcoin will repeat its historical October performance, I’m watching whether the market can keep buying after the obvious seasonal trade has already been crowded. does $BTC continue finding buyers once the “Uptober” narrative stops being new? If it does, the strength may have less to do with the calendar and more to do with genuine demand.
