As you can see in the chart above, Bitcoin volatility has been on the decline for the past few weeks as the price of the coin has been stuck in consolidation.

The 7-day version of the indicator recently broke below the 1% level before hitting a low there and bouncing back to the current 1.1% level.

This bottom was the lowest level the stat has seen since July 2020, around the time of the rebound after the COVID crash.

Bitcoin 30-day volatility is also at an all-time low as the indicator’s value is just 1.9% right now.

The report notes that while these volatility values ​​recently suggest a completely old price, it is also true that the crypto has seen some intraday activity, which the indicator does not take into account as it only takes daily closing prices.

Bitcoin price fluctuated nearly 9% in 12 hours on Thursday as the US CPI release went live. But this price change had almost completely disappeared by the time the daily close happened.

Historically, periods of very low volatility, such as now, have been followed by periods of violent price movements. It now remains to be seen whether BTC also observes a similar trend this time around or not.
