On average, January sees around a 4% gain and has been historically one of the best performing months in past years, with five of the past six January's registering a green month.

This January has been eventful with President Donald Trump taking office and pushing out many pro-crypto policies.

Looking ahead, February has historically been the third best performing month for bitcoin, registering an average of 16%. Only two times in February has it seen a red month: 2014 and 2020, Coinglass data shows.

Even looking slightly further ahead, March is also a seasonally bullish month for bitcoin, up over 13% on average. As a result, Q1 is historically the second-best quarter for bitcoin, up 53%, just behind Q4's 85% gain, according to Coinglass.
