According to historical data, Bitcoin price has closed green 10 of the last 13 October. This causes the community to refer to October as “Uptober,” a combination of the words “up” and “october,” full of bull messages. Right now, all eyes are on how Bitcoin will achieve this again.
Two weeks until the end of ‘Uptober’
Bitcoin has had a dreadful September, when it slumped from $22,000 to $18,000. The latest situation in October is extremely tight as it is trading with little volatility in a narrow range according to Bollinger Bands. This indicates that a downward or upward movement is coming soon.
October is a good month for BTC gains as it usually closes in the green. BTC price only lost value in October 2011, 2012 and 2018. The rest saw good earnings as well as 2009.
We had all hoped for Uptober for #crypto, instead, it seems we are getting CRABTOBER!!!
Still got two weeks though…

$19,400 is enough for a green Uptober
Now with 16 days left, “Uptober” can still close in green. Also, as Bollinger Bands suggests, there are only two ways cryptocurrency can go. The first, of course, is that it drops further from current levels. Or 11.Preparing to close Uptober as expected. As you follow on Kriptokoin.com, BTC is currently trading at $19,186.63. It needs to close above $19,400 for a green Uptober.
