The historically bullish month for bitcoin has begun and the asset recovered from its sub-$63,000 price dip earlier today to sit close to $64,000 now.

Ripple and Dogecoin have posted some notable losses over the past 24 hours, while SUI, NEAR, and UNI are well in the green.

BTC Enters Uptober

Although many expected September to be a bearish month for BTC, given its historical performance, the cryptocurrency actually closed the 30-day period with the most gains since records are being kept. As such, the community has now focused on October, which is the second most successful month for the asset.

Bitcoins gains during September peaked during the previous weekend when it jumped to $66,500. This became its highest price tag in almost two months, but it failed to maintain its momentum.

It lost some traction on Saturday evening and Sunday, but the actual correction arrived on Monday and Tuesday morning. At first, bitcoin slipped to $64,250, but the bears pushed it south further to under $63,000 earlier today.
