October is a notably strong month, with positive bitcoin returns in seven out of the last nine years, with average returns of 20%, the report said.

Matrixport’s technical analysis shows that bitcoin recently made a new breakout signal. The last ten times this model was triggered, its price rose by an average of more than 9% in a short period.

Another potential catalyst in October is the second deadline for the bitcoin spot exchange-traded-fund (ETF) filings, when the the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will have to announce or postpone its decision to approve these ETFs, the report added.

The regulator said in August that it was delaying its decision on whether or not to approve all spot bitcoin ETF applications until October.
