Why Bitcoin May Perform Unusually Well in September
Bitcoin is heading for a very positive September and could break the usual negative trend for this month.
Quick overview
- Historically, September has been a poor month for Bitcoin, but this year shows a different trend.
- Bitcoin is currently priced at $116,016, reflecting a 0.54% increase for the week and better performance than previous Septembers.
- Factors such as decreasing selling pressure, increased public interest, and government support are contributing to Bitcoin's potential for record gains this month.
- With positive developments like the passing of the GENIUS Act, investors can expect not only a good September but also a promising outlook for 2026.
Typically, September will be a poor month for Bitcoin (BTC) and for the wider crypto market and the stock markets. That may not be the case this time, though.
Bitcoin is at $116,016 (BTC/USD) at the time of publication, which is up 0.54% for the week. We have seen several days of downward movement for the coin this week, but it is still performing better than it usually does in September.
BTC/USDThis tends to be a very low month for Bitcoin, with the token falling in that month for six years in a row. In 2024, Bitcoin threw off that trend and gained 7.29% for the month. For 2025, Bitcoin is already doing better than any previous September with 7.39% in gains.
Yes, Bitcoin started September low this year, but that is usually the case, and already the coin has moved from $108K to $116K in 19 days. There is hope that the coin will actually climb higher before the month is over. With a new Federal interest rate cut just announced and the stock market at all-time highs across multiple indices, Bitcoin is poised to set record gains for September in 2025.
Bitcoin Could Surprise This Month
Several factors are working in Bitcoin’s favor right now. It is already ahead for the month, despite not being able to regain its record high from several weeks ago. The coin is seeing tremendous public interest thanks to the drastic increase of Bitcoin ETF inflows as well.
Investors should also know that selling pressure is decreasing for the coin and a higher support level appears to have emerged in recent weeks. Bitcoin may dip periodically, but because the coin has not fallen below $100K since May, it is considered relatively stable. That is not something that could be said of Bitcoin most of the time, and especially not during September, but this year has proven to be very different for the coin.
With the government on its side thanks to the passing of the GENIUS Act and President Donald Trump setting up a Bitcoin reserve, the coin has incredible government support. That is true in other countries besides the United States as well, with even Bitcoin’s harshest government critics now starting to consider allowing crypto investors more freedom. Investors should not just expect a good September for the coin but also a good 2026 thanks to these relatively new positive factors.
