Bitcoin has declined 1.5% in September, but the cryptocurrency is proving relatively resilient during a month that has historically been its weakest, according to CoinDesk. The move leaves BTC on course to record its first quarterly gain in a year. Bitcoin’s performance comes as several broader market pressures intensify, including rising interest rates, higher oil prices and a stronger U.S. dollar. These conditions have tested bullish sentiment across risk assets, while debate around the Clarity Act has also presented a setback for the crypto market. Despite those challenges, Bitcoin’s limited monthly decline and potential quarterly advance point to continued support for the asset. Market participants are now assessing whether BTC can preserve its gains as macroeconomic pressures and regulatory uncertainty remain in focus.
