Bitcoin’s Worst June Since 2022: What It Means for Earning and Passive Income

Bitcoin’s poor performance in June, with a 20.5% drop to $58,526, is a cause for concern for those earning online and seeking passive income. This decline, the worst since June 2022, has led analysts to warn of further downside pressure. For individuals interested in earning through Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto, such as EcoPool ($ECP), it’s essential to understand the implications of this trend.

Analyst Predictions and Bear Market Bottom

Analysts like PlanB suggest that Bitcoin’s close above its realized price but below the 200-week moving average indicates that the bear market bottom is still ahead. This means that the price of Bitcoin could drop further, potentially to $52,000, which is a significant decrease from its all-time high. For those holding $ECP or participating in the EcoPool network, it’s crucial to consider these predictions when making investment decisions.

The realized price of Bitcoin, which represents the average price at which holders acquired their coins, serves as a key metric for support levels during bear markets. As Bitcoin trades between the 200-week moving average and the realized price, investors should be cautious and consider alternative opportunities for passive income, such as the EcoPool network.

Experts like Andri Fauzan Adziima and Lacie Zhang offer valuable insights into the current market trends, with some predicting a potential bottom zone around $55,000. However, it’s essential to remember that the crypto market is highly volatile, and prices can fluctuate rapidly.

“I’m eyeing late-2026 capitulation there before the next leg up, though shallower this cycle due to institutions,” he said.

Lacie Zhang, research analyst at Bitget Wallet, told Cointelegraph that the current consolidation near $60,000 is “approaching a potential bottom zone, with strong historical and technical support likely forming around the $55,000 level if further downside occurs.”

Midterm year market bottom

ITC Crypto founder Benjamin Cowen also speculated there could be a cycle bottom for Bitcoin this year, given it is a US midterm election year. This has previously coincided with bear market bottoms in 2018 and 2022.  

“The second half of midterm years usually marks the accumulation zone/market cycle bottom,” he said.

The US midterms are scheduled for Nov. 3, when all House of Representatives seats and about a third of Senate seats are up for election.
