Not only OP but many members are also not optimistic about this month because they think August is not a favorable month for bitcoin. They look at history and think it might repeat itself this year, and while that's not entirely wrong, I don't think it's entirely right. Because each year the market will go through different impacts and stages, we cannot completely rely on the past to judge the future.
Past event can’t always determine what will happen next, predicting if bitcoin price will surpass the present ATH this month can be difficult well we might not know viewing the market price is on the good side definitely it might go beyond or even less. Currently bitcoin price is at $116k range, it’s actually a good one knowing how the price can just rise in few hours at anytime besides August is still early possibly the history will be different.
Bitcoin has hit a new ATH and is going against the crowd’s thinking. While most people rely on history and assume that August is not a good month, bitcoin has proven that past performance does not determine the future and there is no “ghost month” curse as many are spreading. Market trends will depend on and be determined by current factors, not by the past.
Not only are we in a bull market but the macros are also very positive and everything seems to be in our favor, why should we be pessimistic just because August was a bad month in previous years?
