Hello Fam,

September flipped the script for Bitcoin this year, delivering a gain of around 5% instead of the usual seasonal weakness. It was one of the strongest Septembers in over a decade, signaling resilient demand even amid macro uncertainty and profit-taking. Now all eyes are on "Uptober", a month that has historically produced average gains of more than 20% as momentum builds heading into year-end.

With regulatory clarity improving, institutional participation rising, and monetary policy turning more supportive, the setup for October could fuel another leg higher and potentially set the tone for a strong Q4.

✅ Bitcoin rebounds as shutdown looms and ETF hopes rise

Bitcoin surged back above $114K this week after a sharp sell-off, fueled by renewed optimism over potential U.S. government shutdown effects and the accelerating timeline for spot crypto ETF approvals. Seasonal tailwinds, with October historically one of Bitcoin’s strongest months, and strong gains in crypto equities added momentum.
