Will Bitcoin Break Its September Curse?
Bitcoin has historically struggled in September. Will 2025 be different, or will the trend continue?

- Bitcoin has averaged a -3.77% return in past Septembers.
- September is historically the worst month for BTC.
- Market sentiment and macro trends may shift this pattern.
As September approaches, crypto investors are bracing for what has historically been a challenging month for Bitcoin. Over the past 12 years, Bitcoin has averaged a return of -3.77% in September, making it the worst-performing month of the year.
This consistent underperformance has led many in the crypto community to refer to it as the “September curse.” Whether it’s due to broader market selloffs, seasonal investor behavior, or macroeconomic factors, September tends to bring increased volatility and downward pressure for BTC.
Could 2025 Be Different?
Despite the historical trend, some believe this year could break the pattern. One reason is that Bitcoin is currently in a post-halving phase—a period that has historically driven price growth over the longer term. Additionally, with growing institutional interest and new inflows from ETFs and retail investors alike, there may be more resilience in the market this time.
Macroeconomic factors will also play a key role. If inflation remains under control and the Federal Reserve signals rate cuts, risk assets like Bitcoin could benefit. However, continued regulatory scrutiny or unexpected geopolitical events could trigger caution.
Watching the Data and Sentiment
While historical data suggests caution, it’s important to remember that past performance doesn’t guarantee future results. Traders and investors will be closely watching market sentiment indicators, exchange inflows/outflows, and macroeconomic news.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Bitcoin can finally shake off its September blues—or if history is doomed to repeat itself.
