Question

Is October really Bitcoin's best month (Uptober)?

Short answer

In our data October has averaged +16.63% for Bitcoin and finished higher in 75% of 12 years, the highest average of any month. The next strongest month is February at +10.19%.

12 years is a short history, and a few huge years lift the average, so the median (+12.94%) is the better guide. This October is +2.40% so far.
