Bitcoin Faces September with Mixed Prospects Despite Historical Trends
September has traditionally been a tough month for Bitcoin (BTC), with average returns showing a -6.18% decline.
However, some experts believe this trend might not hold true this year, citing several potential positive influences.
Billy Markus, co-founder of Dogecoin, highlighted the cautious sentiment among investors by referencing Green Day’s lyric, “Wake me up when September ends,” in reaction to Bitcoin’s recent drop below $59,000, hitting a low of $57,128.
Despite this prevailing negativity, there are several factors that could lead to a better-than-expected performance for Bitcoin this September. Key among these is the fact that significant sales by major holders, including Germany, Mt. Gox, and Genesis, have already occurred, lessening potential market pressure.

Moreover, long-term Bitcoin holders are continuing to buy, reflecting strong confidence in its future value. The reduction in the number of dormant major wallets also suggests a lower risk of sudden sell-offs.
Additionally, anticipated investments in Bitcoin ETFs, with inflows potentially reaching $1.5 billion this month, could provide a substantial market boost. While challenges such as possible Federal Reserve rate hikes and regulatory issues persist, Bitcoin’s prospects this September appear more optimistic than in years past.
As suggested by Markus’s tweet, many investors are eager for September to end quickly, but the current factors indicate Bitcoin might fare better than its historical averages this month.
