Expert forecasts for June
May turned out to be a month of losses and permanent pessimism for the first cryptocurrency. Thus, over the past month, Bitcoin lost about 20%.
According to The Block, the US company that develops solutions for receiving and processing electronic payments, in May, BTC miners earned $906.2 million including $16.18 million of commissions. This indicator of mining profitability was 21.6% lower than the April results. At the same time, the income of Ethereum miners increased by 1.08 times compared to April.
As history shows, June is not the best month for Bitcoin. Thus, in the past 11 years, since the first cryptocurrency started trading, the asset closed the month with a drop in 4 cases and an increase in 7.
Lately, crypto experts have started to say more and more often that Bitcoin is following the scenario of 2018. If this trend is taking place, we can assume that the main digital asset will continue to decline in the coming month.
In addition, many analysts of the cryptocurrency market suggest that the entire summer of 2022 will be unsuccessful for BTC, and in August, the asset may even reach the bottom.
In addition, experts believe that the military conflict in Ukraine and market participants' fears about the prospects for the global economy are the key downward factors for the BTC in June and August. In the near future, in their opinion, the spread of monkeypox may also negatively affect the coin.
At the same time, analysts with a more optimistic outlook believe that Russia's move to legalize mining may trigger growth in Bitcoin this summer.
The launch of Ethereum 2.0 this fall could be another supportive factor for the digital asset market.
Thus, crypto-enthusiasts opinions on how June will be for its leading asset are divided. Some see great potential for Bitcoin's growth, while others see many reasons for its decline. At the same time, some analysts are confident that even in the case of a positive movement of BTC in June, the coin will continue to correct later.
It is also possible that in the summer, the first cryptocurrency may hit the bottom.
