With the year 2023 coming to an end, BTC investors historical patterns that indicate December could be a bullish month for their beloved crypto. According to seasonal trends, if October and November close in the positive, so does December, and historical data has painted a similar picture over the past decade.

Even greater gains were made in 2016 and 2017, with positive returns in December of 29.2% and 38.8%, respectively. The year 2020 saw rises of 28.1% and 42.9% in October and November before a 47.8% surge in December. However, there are always exceptions, such as 2013, when Bitcoin experienced a 33.2% dip in December. This year, BTC has been rising steadily; it closed October with a 28.5% gain and projected to end November with a 7.18% increase. For now, we are only left to see what the future holds for December, but there are definitely positive signs for the flagship crypto.
