Despite a weak performance in June, Bitcoin might be set for a strong rebound in July, according to analysts. Bitcoin’s price fell nearly 7% last month, with historical data from Coinglass showing an average June decline of 0.35% since 2013.
July’s Historical Performance
Crypto markets analyst Ali Martinez highlighted on June 30 that Bitcoin often recovers robustly in July after a downtrend in June. Historically, Bitcoin has averaged a 7.42% gain in July. Over the last eleven years, BTC has seen minimum monthly gains of 8% in seven July trading periods.
Memecoin analyst Murad also pointed out to their 103,000 followers on X that Bitcoin has historically rebounded swiftly in July, posting minimum gains of 28% in the first few weeks of the month for the last six consecutive years.
Potential Challenges in July
However, analysts warn that July could be more challenging than usual. They cite significant Bitcoin sales by the German government and upcoming repayments from Mt. Gox, which may exert downward pressure on Bitcoin’s price.
Mt. Gox Repayments
Mt. Gox repayments are set to return around $8.5 billion in BTC to creditors starting in early July. Despite concerns, some analysts believe the impact may not be as severe as anticipated, with only $4 billion potentially affecting the spot BTC market.

Jonathan de Wet, chief investment officer at digital asset trading firm ZeroCap, mentioned that Bitcoin has been trading strongly in the $60,000 range despite these headwinds. He expects Bitcoin to hold this level but noted it could drop to its “key support” around $57,000 as Mt. Gox repayments proceed.
Historical Context
Historically, Bitcoin’s best monthly performance occurs in November, with an average gain of 46.81% since 2013.
