Bitcoin Enters Q4 Needing Stronger Spot Demand
Bitcoin is set to close the third quarter 42.5 percent above its $58,585 quarterly open. That puts it on course for its strongest quarter since the fourth quarter of 2024 and its second-strongest third quarter since 2013. The median Q3 return for bitcoin is 2.2 percent. Our base case is that price consolidates into quarter-end between the $83,000 long-term holder cluster and the $87,722 yearly open. That has largely played out, with BTC trading mostly below $84,000 so far this week.
