Bitcoin looks set for gains in October, defying a recent streak of monthly losses as the macro picture shows hints of improving and cryptocurrency market data improve.
The largest cryptocurrency is up 6.5% in October and was trading around $20,700 as of 8 a.m. in London on Saturday, while second-biggest Ether has risen 19%. Both tokens dropped in five of the previous six months, and bulls had been putting hope into this month as October has historically tended to be positive for crypto prices.
