> U.S. trading hours gained 1.1%, while European hours fell 5.5%; Bitcoin’s full-period buy-and-hold return was down 0.7%.

Bitcoin (BTC) posted different returns across three trading sessions from Oct. 1 through Oct. 20, with gains in Asia and the United States alongside losses in Europe.

The session figures were +3.9% for Asia, +1.1% for U.S. hours and -5.5% for European hours. The full-period buy-and-hold return was -0.7%.

Because the measurement starts Oct. 1, it does not isolate trading in October’s second half.
