Bitcoin is recovering after a difficult start to September, rebounding 6% to trade above $58,000 as of Monday.
The rebound follows a brief dip below $53,000 on Friday.
Bitcoin’s rise has outperformed the broader market, as the CoinDesk 20 Index is up 4.2%, and Ether (ETH) gained 3% to reach $2,341.
Stocks
The broader U.S. stock market also saw positive movement, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 both rising by 1.15%.
Despite these gains, Bitcoin remains down 3% for September and has lost more than 20% from its March peak of $73,000.
NYDIG
According to Greg Cipolaro, global head of research at NYDIG, the outlook for Bitcoin remains challenging due to a lack of immediate catalysts.
Cipolaro pointed out that September has historically been a weak month for Bitcoin, though he highlighted that October and the fourth quarter tend to be more favorable for price movements.
However, until then, Cipolaro suggests that Bitcoin investors might have to rely on broader macroeconomic factors, such as employment data, inflation, and Federal Reserve policies, for market direction.
Cipolaro also suggested that November’s presidential election could play a significant role, though the impact remains uncertain.
