Market sentiment and historical performance

Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of MNTrading, remains optimistic despite a recent 2.6% decline week-to-date. He suggests the recent correction phase might be nearing its end, comparing the current market behavior to previous cycles where deep corrections were not always evident.

Although Q2 performance overall remained weak, with Bitcoin down 13.8%, June alone accounted for 8.9% of the losses. Historically, when Bitcoin had a negative June, it tended to bounce back strongly in July. In fact, BTC has shown an average return of 7.98% and a median return of 9.60% during this month, as highlighted by popular trader Ali Martinez.

With strong support forming at lower price levels and an optimistic outlook from seasoned traders, there is potential for upward price movement.

However, the dynamic liquidity zones increased open interest, and significant liquidation levels indicate that volatility may remain high.

Whether a seasoned trader or a new investor, staying vigilant and monitoring key support and resistance levels will be crucial in navigating this volatile market.
