Bitcoin and the majority of Altcoins are climbing higher, marking the second consecutive day of trading in green. After May’s uninspiring price performance, Bitcoin remains stuck in a range below $40,000, while most Altcoins are yet to return to recently established highs before the crash.
With inflation worrying traditional markets and summer months traditionally good for bulls, there may yet be cause for optimism. Historically, June remains a fairly bullish month for Bitcoin, posting positive returns in five Junes out of eight since 2013.
In June, market focus may tilt towards Decentralized finance tokens. It should be recalled that the DeFi season for the previous year 2020 which saw most of these assets rallying immensely kickstarted in June.
