If Bitcoin continues to tumble this season, it will mark its fourth consecutive summer in the red, while TradFi aims to extend its winning streak to three. Bitcoin is facing a potential fourth straight summer loss if it ends the 2025 stretch in the red, while the S&P 500 will log its third straight seasonal rally if its winning streak continues.  From 2020 to 2024, the S&P 500 logged eight positive July and August performances, while Bitcoin (BTC) had six.
