Bitcoin and most altcoins showed mixed performance in the first five months of the year, with Bitcoin reaching a record high twice.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin (BTC) initially jumped to a record high of $109,300 in January and set a new one at $111,900 in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other meme coins initially surged in January following the launch of Official Trump (TRUMP), but retreated over the first quarter. Most staged a strong recovery in April, with some soaring more than 200% from their lowest levels this year.<\/p>\n

The question is whether Bitcoin and other altcoins will continue rising in June, or if a new crypto winter is about to start.<\/p>\n

Historically, June is usually one of the worst months in the crypto market. Most cryptocurrencies drop during the month, while volume typically slips as many investors take a summer holiday break.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The average Bitcoin return in June since 2013 is minus 0.34%, while the median is minus 0.23%. This makes it the worst month after September. Also, Bitcoin has posted negative returns in June in most years since 2013.<\/p>\n

Ethereum\u2019s performance in June is also not encouraging, as it has had a negative return in most years. Its average return since 2016 is minus 6.8%, its worst month of the year.<\/p>\n

Therefore, if history repeats itself, a crypto winter may likely occur in June. This period is characterized by falling or stalling prices and reduced trading activity. It is also marked by a neutral fear and greed index.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, will determine whether the crypto winter happens. A strong surge to new record highs may lead to renewed demand for altcoins, including meme coins.<\/p>\n

The daily chart shows that BTC has pulled back from its all-time high of $111,900 in May to $104,000. This pullback is likely part of the handle formation in a cup-and-handle pattern, a common continuation setup.<\/p>\n

The cup has a depth of about 32%, suggesting the coin may eventually surge to over $144,600. This target is derived by measuring the same distance from the upper side of the cup.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Bitcoin may drive a crypto winter as it continues forming the handle section. If this occurs, most altcoins may continue falling in June. Fortunately, due to the cup-and-handle pattern, the crypto winter will likely give way to a crypto spring once Bitcoin rebounds.<\/p>\n
