How does Bitcoin perform after New Year's Day each year? A review of the past 12 years of BTC historical data tells you.

It's that time of the year again! After the celebrations, how does Bitcoin's price typically trend after New Year's Day each year? In the following text, we analyze historical data for you. (Background: The list is out! Taiwan Blockchain's 30 Most Influential People of the Year: 2025 Market Key Predictions, Web3 Trend Analysis) (Background Information: Key Investment Themes in the Crypto Space for 2025: DeFi and AI) Bitcoin seemed to stabilize after plummeting to a low of $91,540 yesterday, continuously setting higher highs and lows during fluctuations, reaching $96,258 just before midnight today (1). However, subsequent selling pressure emerged, and as of the time of writing, it has pulled back to $93,829, with a near 24-hour increase of 1.73%. The world is still celebrating the New Year, and it may consolidate for a longer time, but if Bitcoin can avoid dropping below previous lows, it might challenge the important $100,000 level again. A summary of Bitcoin's historical performance in January shows that as we enter 2025, despite concerns about potential bubbles in the US stock market and volatility that may arise from Trump’s presidency, institutions remain optimistic that Bitcoin can reach new all-time highs this year in the long term. As for when that might happen, opinions vary, so let's look at historical data to see if we can find any clues. According to Coinglass data, over the past 12 years (2013 - 2024), Bitcoin has risen in 6 out of 12 Januarys, with the largest increases being: 44.05% in 2013, 39.63% in 2023, and 29.95% in 2020. There have also been 6 drops, with the largest declines being: -33.05% in 2015, -25.41% in 2018, and -14.83% in 2016. The overall average over the past 12 years is 3.13%, which does not seem to indicate a clear direction. However, if we account for the time of the new US President taking office (2021, 2017, 2014), we find that aside from a slight decline in 2017, all other years have seen increases. Whether a new wave of Bitcoin trends can be brought about after Trump takes office on January 20 this year remains to be seen. However, the market also reminds us that the current US stock market continues to decline, and if selling pressure persists, Bitcoin is likely to be affected as well, so investors should be cautious of short-term volatility risks.
