According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin lost 7.3% in October 2026, following a similar decline the previous year, even though the month has historically produced strong returns. Analysts are reevaluating assumptions about recurring seasonal trends in Bitcoin’s price movement.

In light of recent outcomes—specifically two consecutive years of downward movement in October—some market observers are questioning whether predictable seasonal patterns remain reliable indicators for Bitcoin’s short‑term price behavior.
