Over the last 8 years, September has been the second-worst month in terms of bitcoin (BTC) performance. On average, bitcoin falls by 5% in September. Conversely, September is often a good opportunity. The end of the year often marks a powerful "Christmas effect", which is usually accompanied by a rise in cryptocurrency. But if studying the past sheds light on probabilities, it's worth looking at the indicators available on the bitcoin price.

Over the week of August 14, the bitcoin price fell by almost 12%. This turnaround was all the more dramatic as major thresholds that could have inspired long-term confidence were broken. The price of bitcoin fell below the $26,000 mark. It had stabilized above this level since March 2023. In our previous analysis in July, we pointed out that “the $26,000 area appears to be a major zone at present, and the absence of a recovery in volatility on traditional indices will probably determine the next move”.
After several weeks testing the $30K zone, bitcoin has come to register a drop of over 10%. Let's explore the outlook for the leading cryptocurrency.

Despite an unstoppable bear market, bitcoin (BTC) is still attracting investors. This infatuation with the flagship crypto is no accident. It's based on the financial relevance the asset has built up over the 14 years of its existence. A period during which the asset has seen its lows. The asset's lowest valuation was $0.001, its first estimated value in October 2009. The flagship crypto has also experienced highs. In November 2021, the price of bitcoin reached a valuation of $69,992. This figure remains, by far, the highest ever reached by bitcoin since it came into existence. Will the leading cryptocurrency return to this level again? Indeed, bitcoin seems to be facing a glass ceiling. Benefiting from the dynamics of the crypto market, the asset has twice reached a price of $30,000 this year. A level that the flagship crypto was subsequently unable to break through. Yet many players in the crypto industry don't seem to trust these trends. Indeed, many of them have repeatedly expressed their optimism in this regard. They believe that, given current economic and financial conditions, the price would explode. Could this be the reason why many asset managers are scrambling to buy as many bitcoins as possible?
