Bitcoin Posts a 0.39% Gain in October, Still Below the 21.89% Historical October Average

According to Coinglass data, Bitcoin has shifted into positive October performance for this year, delivering a 0.39% gain so far. This modest advance sits well below the long-run distribution of monthly moves, illustrating a restrained risk posture within the crypto markets as traders assess liquidity and macro catalysts.

Since 2013, the historical average October return for Bitcoin stands at about +21.89%, with only two negative Octobers in the past dozen years (2014 and 2018). The contrast highlights an unusual cadence: while the month has started modestly, the longer-run pattern has historically favored stronger gains. As always, investors should maintain disciplined risk management and verify data sources when analyzing monthly crypto performance.
