It's Labor Day, the official end of summer, which makes it the perfect time to look back at the markets.
And you could say that bitcoin took the summer off — except June happened. Bitcoin opened June trading at about $31.8K, which means bitcoin’s price fell about 33% in the summer.
To test the idea that “nothing happens in finance in the summer,” you could compare bitcoin’s summer to the S&P 500’s, which has lost about 4.3% since June (maybe things do happen in finance in the summer).
But an interesting fact pattern appears when looking at these summers: Bitcoin hadn’t had a negative summer since 2018 and the S&P 500 hadn’t had one since 2015.
We explain what happened and what it means, looking forward to the fall, at the link in bio.
