As October approaches, the crypto market revives a now familiar mechanism: the "Uptober" effect. Behind this term that has become a seasonal mantra, a recurring data point intrigues analysts.

This pattern, both statistical and psychological, shapes investors’ expectations and acts as a potential trigger in a context already marked by a progressive market recovery.

A paralyzed blockchain bridge, more than two million dollars gone, and a community awaiting explanations.
