[Crypto June Outlook: World Cup Intensifies Liquidity and Attention Diversion, Historical Performance Also Unfavorable] BlockBeats News, May 31 — In May, Bitcoin and Ethereum are likely to close the month with bearish candles. As of press time, Bitcoin's monthly performance is down 2.81%, while Ethereum has dropped 9.98%. Looking ahead to June, the crypto market remains bleak. On one hand, the quadrennial FIFA World Cup will officially kick off on June 11. The already fragile market will struggle to survive amidst the triple diversion of U.S. stocks, AI, and the World Cup. At that time, U.S. stocks and Polymarket will likely become the primary destinations for market funds and attention. On the other hand, historical data shows that the average return rate for the crypto market in June is negative. Specifically, Bitcoin's average return rate is -0.14%, while Ethereum's is -6.85%. In summary, it is difficult to expect the crypto market, currently in a bear cycle, to deliver an encouraging performance in June. However, contrarian tokens such as HYPE, BNB, and ZEC may present localized opportunities. [Original Link]
