Ethereum prices drop due to poor performance in June

Ethereum prices have been rebounded over the past three days as traders adjusted positions over the worst month historically.

Ethereum (ETH) has declined for three consecutive days, reaching a low of $2,500. This is a 9.8% drop from the monthly high. Despite the pullback, it is better than most altcoins, many of which have dropped by more than 15% from this month’s high.

ETH retreated before June. This is usually the worst month due to the start of summer. Coinglass data shows an average monthly performance of 7.4% for June since 2016. The median monthly return for June is minus 8.68%.

June is also the second performance month for Bitcoin (BTC) after September, and an average return of minus 0.35%.

Seasonality doesn’t always work. For example, ETH fell 18% in March, reducing the profit trend for four years. It also fell 31% in February after recording positive profits for the past six consecutive years.
