Bitcoin's Diminished Volatility in Recent Times

Bitcoin's Unusual Stability

Typically characterized by its wild price swings, Bitcoin (BTC) has recently been remarkably stable. Since November's end, Bitcoin has been consistently trading within a narrow band, ranging from $91,000 to $109,000.

Noticeable Decrease in Volatility

The cryptocurrency's volatility has decreased significantly, as evidenced by recent data from Glassnode. The 2-week realized volatility, assessing how much Bitcoin's price fluctuated over a fortnight, has dropped to around an annualized 32%—one of the lowest benchmarks in many years. Furthermore, the options market shows that anticipated volatility for the upcoming month has fallen under an annualized 50%, marking another rare low point.

Additionally, notable industry figures have optimistic predictions about Bitcoin's future, with some expecting it to climb up to $250,000 by 2025. To stay updated on cryptocurrency news, consider subscribing to the Crypto for Advisors Newsletter, ensuring you don't miss any developments.
