I've been looking through the historical prices of Bitcoin on bitcoin.com (https://charts.bitcoin.com/chart/price) and noticed that the high points and low points seem to be (give or take a bit) fairly predictable. The highest price of Bitcoin each year always seems to be towards the end of the year, normally December; and the lowest price always seems to be at the beginning of the year, normally January. Obviously throughout the year there is plenty of market movement up and down, and some periods may over or under run slightly, but as a general pattern, it's an eye opener.
2010 -
Low - No real action on the price until July, when it jumped from virtually nothing to about $0.09. Therefore lowest price January to June.
High - Hit $0.35 in November
Percentage rise from lowest to highest point almost 300%
2011 -
Low - Started the year at around $0.30
High - Hit $29 in June
Percentage rise from lowest to highest point almost 10,000%
2012 -
Low - Dropped to around $4 in February
High - Rose to just under $14 by December
Percentage rise from lowest to highest point around 250%
2013 -
Low - Carried on from December at around $13 in January
High - Huge rise up to over $1100 by November
Percentage rise from lowest to highest point almost 8,500%
2014 -
Low - Low point right at the end of the year, when it dropped to just over $300
High - Hit it's high right at the beginning of the year in January at around $950 before immediately dropping like a stone
Percentage rise from lowest to highest point just over 200% (pretty irrelevant this one, as the high was in January and the low in December, so would show a loss unless trading throughout the year)
2015 -
Low - Didn't drop too much lower than December 2014, and was at around $190 in January
High - Crept up to $460 by December
Percentage rise from lowest to highest point almost 150%
2016 -
Low - Standard January drop to about $370
High - Steadily moved up, roller coaster style, to almost $1000 in December
Percentage rise from lowest to highest point just over 150%
2017 -
Low - Just under $800 in January
High - Around $20,000 in December before...
Percentage rise from lowest to highest point almost 2500%
None of this really means anything I guess, but interesting nonetheless.
Another random fact, August 2013 was the last time you could buy a Bitcoin for less than $100. Hopefully that won't be changing anytime soon!!
