According to TechFlow, Matrixport released a chart today saying that August (and September) have always been months when Bitcoin fell, and this year seems to be no exception.

Still, open interest is currently high at $17.8 billion, compared to $16 billion in May and July, suggesting more liquidations could come before a rebound.
