If history is any guide, Bitcoin could be on its way to a strong year-end rally.
Overview
After a sizzling August for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) that saw it gain 25%, many crypto investors may be expecting even bigger things ahead for the remainder of 2026. So does Bitcoin now have the upward momentum it needs to close out the year with a massive rally?

If you look at the long-term historical returns for Bitcoin, then September is easily its worst month of the year. The average return is negative 2.93%. That's why longtime Bitcoin investors typically refer to September as "Rektember," a reference to "rekt" (crypto slang for "wrecked").
