Looking back at Bitcoin's performance in December over the past 12 years, I found an interesting pattern.
Since 2013, BTC has experienced a total of 12 Decembers, with a record of 5 wins and 7 losses—December doesn't seem to be friendly to Bitcoin. The craziest month was the end of 2020, when it skyrocketed by 46.92% in a single month, directly boosting the year-end bonus market; while the most painful memory is from December 2013, when it plummeted by 34.81%, likely causing many people's faith to collapse at that time.
Take a calmer look at the data: over the past 12 years, the average return rate in December is 4.03%. Sounds good, right? But the median is -3.59%, which means that in most years, there are actually losses. So whether to lay flat or buy the dip at the end of the year, this data can only say - history won't simply repeat itself, but it always carries similar rhymes.
