Bitcoin up 25 percent in August faces September test as \'Red September\' jinx looms

Bitcoin is again confronting statistics showing September as its weakest month, having closed lower in 8 of the past 13 Septembers since 2013. The average September return was minus 2.97 percent, with a median of minus 2.44 percent, while October has been the strongest month. Analysts also point to U.S. equity seasonality, Fed rate expectations and support and resistance levels as key factors as bitcoin trades around $77,500.
