Month and quarter end. Bitcoin is heading for one of its best third quarters in years, up roughly 44% since 1 July. September has also been strong for the wider market, which grew from about $2.62 trillion on 1 September to about $2.87 trillion late in the month. Quarter-end often brings position squaring by funds, so do not be surprised by volatility. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have just taken in about $2.39 billion in a week, their best week of 2026.
