As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in financial markets under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of bull and bear runs. The recent performance of Bitcoin (BTC) in September has caught my attention, as it appears to be setting up for a potential year-end rally that could rival the historic gains we’ve seen in previous years.
The most valuable digital currency, Bitcoin, reached a two-month peak of $66,560 on Friday, marking an impressive milestone in the month of September.
Despite not reaching its record high of $73,700 set in March, Bitcoin’s impressive September performance has fueled anticipation for substantial growth as the year comes to a close. Historically, if Bitcoin finishes September favorably, the subsequent three months usually bring even more significant gains.
Best September Ever Could Lead To Major Year-End Rally
In a recent social media post, crypto specialist Ali Martinez pointed out a recurring trend, underscoring how a bullish September tends to be followed by price surges.
Based on the image provided by the analyst, it appears that Bitcoin has consistently shown significant growth in September from 2015 onwards, with an average increase of more than 20% in October, approximately 10% in November, and over 20% in December.
As a researcher, I’ve observed that past Septembers ending in green for Bitcoin have shown more modest growth, with the most bullish month averaging approximately 8% increase. However, this year might be different. This September could potentially set new records, leading to gains that surpass those of previous years.
At its current price of around $62,000, Bitcoin seems to be on an optimistic path. If it follows the trend of previous bullish Septembers (which historically have led to gains), we might expect a 20% increase in October, followed by another 10% rise in November and yet another 20% boost in December. This could potentially push Bitcoin’s price close to $98,000 by the end of the year.
Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that the value of cryptocurrency often experiences a significant surge or “sharp upward trend” around October each time there’s a Halving event. As Martinez noted, this observation adds to the optimistic perspective for what could potentially be Bitcoin’s most prosperous fourth quarter in its history.
Options Market Suggests Potential Bitcoin Dip Ahead
Although Martinez is hopeful that Bitcoin could see substantial growth in October, analyst InspoCrypto has expressed concern about the prevailing market conditions. As of late, InspoCrypto points out that the options market suggests a more reserved outlook.
The data suggests that numerous market positions are tilting towards a pessimistic perspective. Some significant transactions, or block trades, hint at a possible drop in Bitcoin’s price, focusing on price ranges roughly between $60,000 and $55,000.
Right now, the “maximum loss” point where the majority of options might end up being worthless stands at around $62,000. Since the market value is close to this amount, there’s a worry that this could prolong the downtrend or continue the bearish pattern.
Furthermore, the analyst warned that positions held near $60,000 could be at risk of being closed out. Yet, while October seems cautious, the forecast beyond this month looks significantly more promising.
According to InspoCrypto’s analysis, there is a high level of optimism among traders regarding Bitcoin’s price for the upcoming months. Many are predicting that Bitcoin will surpass $80,000, with some going as far as suggesting it could reach $100,000.
If a drop happens around mid-October, according to certain data, the analyst thinks this could be the final chance for investors to invest before Bitcoin potentially begins a substantial upward trend.
