2021 has been a phenomenal year for cryptocurrencies and we are less than three months in.

Bitcoin is up +91% & ETH is up +125%

On average, the cryptocurrency total market capitalisation is up 122% with Altcoins up nearly 200%!

Many believe the cryptocurrency market has reached a point where it is overvalued or into the bubble territory because crypto has outperformed every other asset class in existence.

From a fundamental perspective, it is clear that the train still has more to go given the fact that inflation isn't stopping nor has institutional capital stopped flooding the crypto market.

However, does that mean we keep going higher right away? We've conducted statistical analysis, that is both simple and easy to digest, to figure out the most likely path.

The question on everyone's mind is

Will cryptocurrency prices keep running higher over the next few months?

For this particular reason we've looked at historic monthly returns of: Bitcoin & Alts MCap since 2014.

Bitcoin Stats

Below are the average monthly returns for Bitcoin from April till July since 2014.

May has historically offered a great performance for Bitcoin with an average of +25% in gains. Remember this percentage is only the average, some May(s) had returns exceeding 60%, such as in 2017 and 2019.

Altcoins Stats

85%+ of our cryptocurrency investment portfolio consists of Altcoins, hence why this section is very important to us. Below you'll find the average monthly returns for Altcoins since 2014.

The first thing you'll notice is how the returns are larger than Bitcoin's. That is normal as Bitcoin has a much larger market capitalisation and hence is harder to move than Altcoins. The second thing you'll notice is the average return for June is 0%

Once again, these are averages; Alts delivered north of 250% in May 2017 for example. When looking at this data you must consider that this is derived from an Altcoins Index (Top 200) and so there are assets that had much higher monthly returns - the outperformers we always are researching.

Conclusion

If we are to base our thesis on statistics, we'd have to say we have a few interesting months coming our way. The point of this statistical analysis is not to determine how much cryptocurrencies will grow each month, rather the purpose is to determine which months are likely to deliver the most returns. That month is MAY.

With that being said, April has historically been bullish too - just not as bullish as May.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
