Is the "April Effect" still real in 2026? 📊
We just survived a brutal Q1. Bitcoin dropped ~23% from January to March, leaving the Fear & Greed Index shivering in "Extreme Fear" for nearly 60 days. But history tells a story that the bears might not want to hear.
The Historical Data (2013–2025):
✅ April is historically Bullish: In the last 13 years, Bitcoin has closed April in the GREEN 9 times.
✅ Average Returns: We’ve seen an average April bounce of +13%.
✅ The "Recovery" Rule: In years like 2018 where Q1 was deep red, April often provided a massive relief rally (remember the +33% jump that year?)
