It's been a rough year for crypto investors. It's always nice to see a strong buy spike to signal there might be an end in sight to the bear market. Unfortunately we are heading into summer when markets traditionally slow down as the northern hemisphere takes time off to enjoy that beautiful weather. My worry is that if we dont see one last big rally soon we won't see one until the end of August or beginning of September.
