Bitcoin: Strongest Q3 in 9 Years Confirms Bull Run

Bitcoin delivered its strongest Q3 in nine years with a 43% gain, nearly 400% above the 8.61% average, confirming the bull market and adding over $508B in market cap while altcoins captured $319B in three months.

The overall crypto market cap climbed back to $2.85T, a level unseen since January, as BTC price prediction models shift away from diminishing returns toward parabolic advances targeting $500,000+ peaks in coming years.

Price action on the 4h chart shows BTC trading at $84008.83 inside the Bollinger Bands with upper resistance at $84355.35, while the EMA50 at $83569.82 and EMA200 at $79872.81 anchor the bullish structure; MACD golden cross at -30.62 supports continuation even as neutral RSI at 52.7 leaves room for a measured pullback to the 50-EMA before the next leg higher.
