Welcome to the Extreme Investor Network, where we provide unique insights and information to help you navigate the world of investing. Today, we take a closer look at the current state of the cryptocurrency market, particularly bitcoin, as we head into the summer months.
Bitcoin saw a strong performance in May, with a 13% jump marking its eighth monthly gain in the past nine months. This surge was largely fueled by an ether-led rally ahead of the SEC’s approval of a rule change allowing ether ETFs in the U.S. Aspiring sponsors of these ETFs now need to file their S-1 registration forms, setting the stage for potential catalysts in the coming months.
Despite this recent surge, bitcoin has been trading in a tight range over the past three months, showing little movement. However, periods of consolidation often precede significant price movements, as was the case in 2020 after the last halving event.
Looking ahead to June, bitcoin faces some challenges. Historical data shows that the cryptocurrency has an average return of just 0.25% in the month of June over the last 10 years. Traders will be closely monitoring the Federal Reserve’s next policy meeting and the ongoing political discourse surrounding cryptocurrency regulation.
Bitcoin miners are also facing challenges after the recent halving event, which reduced their revenue source. As mining profitability declines and transaction fees decrease, miners may be forced to sell their bitcoin holdings to maintain cash flow, potentially creating a negative cycle in the market.
