So, June Still Sucks 😐️

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Still In A Bull Flag 👍️ 

Bombs, war, inflation, Godzilla, aliens, and everything else under the sun has everyone running around like a squirrel that just ripped open a suspicious looking bag of white powder. 🐿️ 

Which, naturally has everyone screaming doom and gloom. But when you look at the whole crypto market, it’s still in a bullish continuation pattern (bull flag):

And don’t forget: June sucks. 👎️ 

When ranked for best performing months, June is 10th for Bitcoin. So, not that great.

XRP has closed June in the red eight out of the past ten years! DOGE has closed June in the red for seven years in a row. It’s also Dogecoin’s worst month. And Cardano’s closed June in the red six out of the past seven years,

Like I said before: June sucks. A little under a week left before July, so let’s see how things go. 👀

Bitcoin Depot (Nasdaq: BTM) isn’t just the world’s largest Bitcoin ATM operator; they’re a growth-focused industry leader that’s expanding faster than ever. They just posted their Q1 2025 financials, and they’re attracting some attention:

Adjusted profits up 92% YoY to $33.1M
