On average, March has been Bitcoin Cash's strongest month (+25% on average, up in 4 of 6 years) and May the weakest (−12% on average, up in 2 of 6).

For April, June and November the average and the median point opposite ways, which means one or two huge moves decide the average. The median, the typical month, is the safer guide there.

July and September closed higher in at least three years out of four, but with only 5 to 6 years of data per month that is a pattern in a handful of years, not a rule.

Read this as history, not a forecast. Each month has at most 6 years of data behind it, from a few market cycles, and seasonality that held in those years has often vanished in the next.
