Bitcoin is expected to dip a bit further this month before turning higher, which is bad for anyone buying right now but good for buyers willing to wait a few days.

• September has a pattern: when the month ends up green, the low usually comes early and is shallow.
• Bitcoin is down only slightly so far, less than the typical September dip.
• The average pullback in these green Septembers runs 3.5% to 4.4% from the month's open.
• Applied to this month's starting price, that points to a buy zone in the mid-$70,000s.

Outlook: A short, shallow drop into the mid-$70Ks in the next few days is the likely setup before a stronger rest of the month.
