What Is "Sell in May and Go Away"?
"Sell in May and go away" is a well-known financial-world adage. It is based on the historical underperformance of some stocks in the "summery" six-month period commencing in May and ending in October, compared to the "wintery" six-month period from November to April. If an investor follows the this strategy, they would divest their equity holdings in May (or at least, the late spring) and invest again in November (or the mid-autumn).


I know that thread is talking about return of stock, not cryptocurrency, then i will show you this (bitcoin return on every month)



From this pic, we can take a conclusion if after May - Oct, bitcoin price seems more likely in "Red" instead of "Green". What do you think? Is this coincidence?

Vote the poll & give your reason.

This strategy does not make sense in the world of cryptocurrencies, it is a strategy specifically designed for stocks and even if now there is some correlation between the stock market and the bitcoin market this does not mean they are going to always move in the same way, it is better to just watch the price if you want to become a trader and decide what to do based on what the price is doing, otherwise you will lose a lot of money with strategies which do not make a lot of sense.
