August Still Has Potential to Be Marked by Volatility.

In addition to looking at cycle patterns, the analyst also highlighted seasonal factors or seasonality.

In the 2018 and 2022 cycles, Bitcoin generally formed a weak point in June, then recovered throughout July before coming under pressure again in August through September. In some cases, the weakness even continued before the market finally formed its final price bottom.

According to the analyst, the price movement pattern in 2026 so far shows similarities — Bitcoin weakened in June and then recovered during July.

Because of this, Bitcoin is considered to still offer a more attractive risk-reward profile compared to most altcoins in the short term.

Nevertheless, the long-term outlook for altcoins remains positive if the market cycle once again follows historical patterns. $BTC #altcoins
