So far, the beginning of October is very similar to the beginning of August. Back then bitcoin also started to rise from the first days of the month. I wouldn't count on any serious price recovery this year, but local growth and pumping of altcoins may well happen. There is plenty of fuel for growth in the market, everyone expects a bad scenario and shorts.
There is really no way of knowing what’s going to happen with bitcoin because it's a volatile and unpredictable thing. We could see it finish the month at 30k+, or we could see it finishing under 20k, both of them are equally possible. Nobody could convince me that it is "impossible" for it to break ATH just inside this month, I know it’s hard but technically speaking it is possible and that’s what I believe in bitcoins power.
I am not saying that’s what we are going to have, like I said I do not kow what’s going to happen but I know that none of us could ever know what’s going to happen which is why we should be a bit more careful when investing.
