The year has been difficult for the leading cryptocurrency, but according to Arcane statistics, selling ceased in July. With a monthly return of 16.6%, BTC recorded its best month of 2022 and its greatest monthly return since October of last year.

Bitcoin is still well behind its November record high of roughly $69,000, but it has recently shown some renewed vigor as the stock market has also risen. The S&P 500 rose about 10 percent in July, its largest rise since November 2020.

Meanwhile, August has historically been a poor month for cryptocurrencies, and many analysts are cautious. Overall, it’s still early, and we’re not out of the woods yet.
