Historically, October has been a favorable month for Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader cryptocurrency market.
In October 2023, Bitcoin experienced a notable increase of 28%, marking its second-best monthly performance of the year, following January’s impressive gain of nearly 40%. Since 2011, October has delivered positive returns at least nine times.
An experienced crypto investor known as “Jelle” recently expressed optimism about the market’s potential this month, raising hopes among enthusiasts.
He pointed out a recurring trend where Bitcoin often displays a resurgence after a sluggish September, typically beginning its upswing in October.
Jelle stated, “In previous bullish markets, Bitcoin has utilized the summer months to gather strength, with upward movements commencing in October, usually around the 2nd or 3rd week. I anticipate that this year will follow the same pattern.”

All of those new legs higher started in October – breaking out in the 2nd or 3rd week of the month.
