China\u2019s Golden Week holiday, which began October 1 and runs through October 7, coincides with South Korean market closures from October 3\u20139, as well as other Asian breaks. This lull in regional participation has historically dragged on Bitcoin performance, with K33 data showing that the first week of October typically delivers flat or negative returns.<\/p>\n
\u201cBTC typically behaves flat during the early October Asian holiday season,\u201d wrote Vetle Lunde, Head of Research at K33, noting that volatility often compresses toward local lows. The 2021 rally, however, was a rare exception, bucking the seasonal pattern with outsized gains.
\nLunde also pointed out that this isn\u2019t just about holidays: August through mid-October tends to be one of Bitcoin\u2019s weakest stretches of the year in terms of directional momentum.<\/p>\n
