Bitcoin’s July Rebound: History Repeats Itself?
As the dust settles on a lackluster June, Bitcoin enthusiasts are looking to July for a strong rebound. And history might be on their side. The data shows that whenever June ends in a downtrend, the following month sees a roaring comeback, with Bitcoin gaining an average of 7.42% historically.
Bitcoin’s July rebound: Will history repeat itself?
In the past, Bitcoin has performed strongly in July when June ended in a decline. This trend has held true for seven out of the last 11 July trading periods, with minimum monthly gains of 8%. One analyst, Murad, pointed this out to their 103,000 followers on X, highlighting the swift historical rebounds beginning in July.
However, not everyone is convinced that July will be a smooth ride. The upcoming Mt. Gox repayments could put pressure on the price of Bitcoin, with around $8.5 billion in BTC to be paid back to creditors starting in the first week of July. This could lead to a supply glut in the market, potentially dampening Bitcoin’s chances of a rebound.
The Mt. Gox repayments: A threat to Bitcoin’s rebound?
Despite these concerns, some analysts believe the impact of the repayments may not be as dire as many investors expect. Only $4 billion is set to hit the spot BTC market, which could mitigate the potential negative effects. Jonathan de Wet, chief investment officer at digital asset trading firm ZeroCap, expects Bitcoin to hold around its current level, but notes that it could fall to its “key support” level at around $57,000 in the coming weeks as Mt. Gox creditor repayments hit the market.
Bitcoin’s price: Will it hold or fall?
While the road ahead is uncertain, one thing is clear: Bitcoin has a history of surprising us. As we head into July, it’s anyone’s guess whether the trend will continue. Will Bitcoin stage a strong rebound, or will the Mt. Gox repayments weigh it down? Only time will tell.
