Bitcoin posted its best-performing month in a year in April, delivering a monthly return of 11.87%, according to CoinGlass data cited in the article. The gain, however, still landed slightly below Bitcoin’s historical April average of 12.98%.
Coin Bureau founder Nic Puckrin said in an X post that April’s performance showed “some green,” adding that there is still “a long way to go back to ATHs.” The article notes that April marked Bitcoin’s best month since April 2025, when it returned 14.08%.
Looking ahead, analysts referenced May’s historical tendency to deliver returns of about 8%. CoinGlass data was also cited for the claim that Bitcoin has historically averaged a 7.78% return in May.
Bitcoin was trading at $78,190, about 38% below its October all-time high of $125,100, according to CoinMarketCap. The article also states that Bitcoin started April at around $66,000.
Despite the April rebound, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index showed a “Fear” reading of 39 on Friday, suggesting investors remained cautious.
The article says market participants are comparing current monthly performance with prior periods, with some believing Bitcoin’s history tends to repeat itself. It also highlights that after five consecutive red monthly candles, Bitcoin has closed two months in the green.
Crypto analytics firm CryptoQuant warned that Bitcoin could be setting up for a multi-month price decline after an April rally driven mainly by futures traders.
Other analysts were more optimistic. MN Trading Capital founder Michael van de Poppe said Bitcoin may not require a new narrative or catalyst to move back above the psychological $100,000 level, which it has not traded above in nearly five months. He added that there “doesn't need to be a narrative that pushes the price upwards,” while asking what narrative would bring Bitcoin to $100K.
The article notes that Bitcoin last traded at $100,000 on Nov. 13, about a month after the Oct. 10 $19 billion crypto market liquidation event.
