Research shows that on average, Bitcoin posts gains of around 44% in the final quarter, a trend that could push the leading cryptocurrency toward $160,000 by Christmas.<\/p>\n
Network economist Timothy Peterson highlighted this seasonal effect in research shared earlier this week. \u201cExactly four months until Christmas. How does Bitcoin fare during this time? Up 70% of the time. Average gain +44%,\u201d he noted on X.
\nAt current levels near $111,148, a 44% gain would lift BTC close to $160,000 by late December, according to Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView data.<\/p>\n
Historically, September has been Bitcoin\u2019s weakest month, rarely closing more than 8% higher. Despite that, Peterson remains positive, suggesting that the apparent seasonality of September may be overstated due to outlier years like 2017, 2018, 2020, and 2022. Adjusting for those, the data trends toward \u201cpositive yet less volatile performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other market commentators echo this cautious optimism. Trader Donny noted that Bitcoin may already be \u201cfrontrunning\u201d the traditional September dip, likening recent moves to the setup seen during the 2017 bull market.
\nHe also emphasized Bitcoin\u2019s tendency to mirror gold\u2019s trajectory after periods of lag, with the correlation holding firm in recent years.<\/p>\n
