SELL IN MAY?
Bitcoin has just closed 2 consecutive green monthly candles — the first time this has happened since May 2025.
At first glance, this looks bullish.
But let’s look at the data more carefully.
Historically, when Bitcoin posts two straight green months after a strong rally, it has often marked a local top or at least the beginning of a significant correction period.
Looking at the monthly returns table:
April 2026: +11.87%
May 2026: +0.29%
We are now entering June — historically one of the weakest months for Bitcoin on average.
The combination of:
Back-to-back green months
Extremely negative funding rates
Repeated rejection from the major descending trendline
…suggests we may be entering the “sell in May and go away” phase once again.
Many traders are getting overly bullish right now, but the higher-timeframe structure still remains cautious.
The next few weeks will be critical.
