Bitcoin Jumps Before ‘Uptober’

Bitcoin $BTC.X ( ▲ 3.45% ) is trying to finish September on a positive note as the price of the most popular cryptocurrency jumped about 2% on Monday.

Price Details: Bitcoin is up about 5% in September. It may not sound like a big gain, but keep in mind that Bitcoin’s price fell about 5% in August. Thus, September was a recovery month.

Powering the Story: There’s enthusiasm surrounding Bitcoin right now, before October starts. October is often called “Uptober” because historically, Bitcoin and other cryptos have received nice gains during the month.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Bitcoin and other cryptos tend to perform well in October due to recurring seasonal market trends and increased investor activity as the fourth quarter begins.

  • Over the past decade, October has produced a roughly 22% monthly gain for Bitcoin.

Final Thoughts: Bitcoin is up about 22% this year.

Vail Resorts Can't "Capitalize"

Details: Pass product sales are down 3% and total skier visits dropped 3% across North American destination mountain resorts and regional ski areas.

Quote: “Our approach to engaging with guests has not kept pace with shifting consumer behaviors and as a result, we have not been able to fully capitalize on our competitive advantages or adapted our execution appropriately to respond to shifting dynamics.” - CEO Rob Katz.
