Bitcoin’s monthly returns (2010–2026) show a clear late-year pattern.
October: up 11 of 16 years, median +12.9%. November: 63% win rate, median +10.3% (average pulled higher by outliers). December: more mixed but often green.
2026 October is currently lagging (~-3%), yet the data from past years suggests the next couple of months have historically been kind to Bitcoin.
No selling before a new ATH should be the scenario here.
