Although September brought no sign of a bull run, the bears seem to be losing their strength as well. A total of 16 coins out of the top 50 by market capitalization registered a net gain throughout September - more than a fivefold leap from only three that managed to do so in August.

And although the number of coins in red remains big, the losses are smaller than they were in the previous month, the last month of the 3rd quarter this year.
