Each cell is the actual daily return on that Oct date in that year — one row per year, one column per calendar day.
This page cuts Bitcoin's daily price history two ways: by weekday — the average Monday, Tuesday and so on for each year — and by day of the month, where picking a single month shows the actual daily return on every calendar date of that month. It is the finest grain of the Coinfuty returns grid, built from the same daily closes as the monthly, weekly, quarterly and yearly views.
Every figure is a UTC daily close against the previous daily close, in USD. Weekday and day-of-month cells outside a single-month filter are averages across the year, so they describe tendency, not any single trade. Returns across data gaps are excluded rather than smeared into the next day.
The grid is how to answer “what is the best day of the week to buy Bitcoin?” with historical data instead of folklore. Day-of-week effects in crypto are weak and unstable — the market trades 24/7, so weekend cells are real returns, not gaps. Treat the grid as context on how Bitcoin has behaved, never as a signal that a weekday is due to repeat.
Bitcoin's latest daily return is +1.04% for 11 October 2026, the daily close against the previous day's close on UTC boundaries. So far in October 2026, 6 of 11 trading days closed higher; the biggest up day was the 4th at +2.11% and the biggest down day was the 7th at −2.61%.
Across all years on record, Wednesday has the highest median average daily return for Bitcoin at +0.57% per day, while Tuesday is the weakest at −0.05%. In 2026 so far, Monday leads at +0.75% per day and Tuesday trails at −0.49%. Each cell is the mean of that weekday's daily returns within a year, so the numbers are small per day but add up over time.
Bitcoin's median average daily return is +0.35% on Saturdays and +0.01% on Sundays, against an average of +0.21% per day across Monday to Friday. Crypto futures trade 24/7, so weekend candles are real trading days, not gaps.
By median average daily return across all years, the 4th of the month has been Bitcoin's strongest calendar day at +0.75% and the 31st its weakest at −0.40%. 26 of the 31 calendar days carry a positive median. Day-of-month effects are noisy, so read them as texture rather than a rule.
The weekday view answers this with historical data: each cell is the mean daily return for that weekday in that year, and the Median row aggregates all years — weekdays with the weakest average returns have historically been the cheaper days to buy. The ranking shifts as new data lands, so the live grid — not any fixed answer — is the source of truth.
Use the coin selector to re-cut the same grid for any listed coin. Weekday tendencies differ coin to coin and are even less stable than Bitcoin's, so check the coin you actually trade — and treat any pattern as context for timing a dollar-cost average, not a guarantee.
Yes. Crypto markets run 24/7, so Saturday and Sunday cells are real daily returns, unlike stock-market seasonality tables where weekends are blank.
Each day's UTC close divided by the previous day's UTC close, minus one, in USD. Days that follow a gap in the data are excluded so a multi-day move is never counted as one day.
