Bitcoin may see a strong rebound in July following a lackluster performance in June, which saw Bitcoin falling almost 7% in the month.
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) dropped as much as 6.96% last month and has historically averaged a slump of 0.35% in June, according to data from Coinglass — which tracks the monthly returns of Bitcoin beginning in 2013.
