$BTC is putting together one of the strongest Q3 performances in its history. Bitcoin is currently up around 43.2% in Q3 2026. Since 2013, only 2017 delivered a stronger third quarter, with roughly +80.4%. For comparison: 2020 Q3: +17.97% 2021 Q3: +25.01% 2026 Q3: +43.2% The turnaround becomes even more impressive when you look at how the year started. Q1: -22.2% Q2: -14.09% Q3: +43.2% Bitcoin went from two weak quarters to one of its strongest Q3 performances ever. And the timing makes this even more interesting. Q4 has historically been Bitcoin’s strongest quarter, so $BTC is entering that part of the calendar with strong momentum already in place. From here, I’m watching whether spot demand, liquidity and institutional flows can keep supporting the move. Q3 completely changed the tone of 2026. Now all eyes are on Q4.
