- Bitcoin is expected to finish August with a price decline, its first negative month since April.
- September has historically been a challenging month for Bitcoin, often producing negative returns.
- Analysts point to technical patterns and past cycles that indicate a possible recovery in September.
- Some experts predict a new all-time high for Bitcoin within four to six weeks if current support levels hold.
- A weaker U.S. dollar and anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts may support a potential rise in Bitcoin prices.
Bitcoin is on track to end August with a decline, marking its first loss in several months. The price downturn has raised concerns about continued weakness as September begins.
Data shows that September has often been a difficult month for Bitcoin. Since 2013, the cryptocurrency has posted negative returns in September during eight out of the last twelve years, with average losses of about -3.8%. Analysts refer to this pattern as the “September Effect“, where traders adjust their portfolios or take profits after summer rallies.
Market observers note that, in some years, Bitcoin has seen a strong rally in September following a weak August. Chart overlays comparing price trends in 2017 and the current year suggest a possible price reversal, as highlighted by analyst Rekt Fencer. In 2017, Bitcoin rebounded from late August lows and went on to reach a $20,000 record.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading near a multimonth support zone between $105,000 and $110,000. Technical analysis indicates this level may act as a launchpad for another upward move. Analyst ZYN notes the presence of a “hidden bullish divergence,” where price drops but the relative strength index (RSI)—a measure of momentum—remains steady. ZYN predicts an all-time high above $124,500 is possible in the next four to six weeks, if these trends continue.
Expectations of a weakening U.S. dollar may also play a role in Bitcoin‘s performance this September. Currency traders are bearish on the dollar due to slowing U.S. economic growth and anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts, as reported by Bloomberg. A lower dollar often supports higher prices for risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
The 52-week correlation between Bitcoin and the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has fallen to -0.25, its lowest point in two years. According to analyst Ash Crypto, expected rate cuts could bring more cash into cryptocurrency markets, possibly leading to significant gains for altcoins as well.
