BNB (BNB) monthly returns 2017-2026
Every completed month of BNB since Dec 2017 in one table, with the average, the median and how often each calendar month closed higher. Whether any month really stands out is a different question - and the answer, after allowing for chance, is no.
In short: best month by average Feb (+48.7%, median +5.3%, up in 5 of 9 years); worst Jun (-11.3%, median -10.0%, up in 1 of 9). Each calendar month has only 8-9 observations, so a month this good appears in shuffled data 56% of the time.
