January May Be a Bad Time to Sell Bitcoin: Historical Price Data Warns

Bitcoin's price history warns that selling in January may be a bad idea, with an average gain of +9.76% and a median of +9.54% across monthly returns. While January isn't always green, it often punishes sellers who expect an easy exit. End-of-year selling can lead to rebounding prices on lighter resistance, with recent years seeing January gains of +39.9% in 2023 and +29.6% in 2020. History suggests the bigger risk may be selling too late rather than too early.
