Bitcoin’s $BTC volatility has declined over the past decade as the asset has matured, with deeper liquidity, institutional participation, and regulation.
Over the past year, Bitcoin’s realized volatility fell to 43%, down from 81% five years ago, placing it within the range of S&P 500 constituents. For investors already comfortable owning volatile equities, Bitcoin’s price fluctuations may be less daunting than assumed.

Bitcoin is testing a key technical level.
According to Glassnode, BTC has now bounced twice from the estimated US Spot Bitcoin ETF cost basis of approximately US$81,500, a level that previously acted as resistance.
With Bitcoin trading above this level, the key question is whether it can continue to hold as support.

Open interest is at its lowest since March while Bitcoin rallies. Different setup from what we've seen recently.
Less leverage in the system potentially makes this move less susceptible to leverage flushes, though it doesn't say where price goes from here.
$BTC is rallying on less leverage.
Price is up 35% from the August low, while coin-denominated open interest is down almost 20%.
That puts open interest at its lowest since March, potentially making the rally less susceptible to leverage flushes.

25 basis points hike and Crypto is still green.
Grayscale Research views this as a mid-cycle adjustment, not a cyclical shift, and expects little impact on crypto markets. A comparable hike in 1997 had the same result. Worth noting: stablecoin issuers like @circle and @tether, who earn higher revenues when interest rates rise.

Last week's BTCUSD weekly candle was the single largest weekly gain by dollar amount in Bitcoin history.
By percentage, it was the 41st biggest weekly gain in history (+23.5%) and the biggest since March 2023.
An interesting comparison of Bitcoin cycles. The current drawdown has been notably shallower than previous cycles, another indication of how Bitcoin’s market structure continues to evolve.
This week may be a turning point for Bitcoin $BTC.
Historically, Bitcoin has bottomed ~80% below its cycle peak price. In the latest bear market Bitcoin fell ~50% from its peak, less than all prior cycles to this point.
Markets were debating whether Bitcoin would see another leg down in Q4 2026. While there are still risks, the rally this week may indicate we’ve reached a more durable bottom.

Strong hands are buying bitcoin:native.
Bottoms are formed when profit taking slows and conviction buyers step in. This setup looks similar to what we saw during 2022.
The largest increase in BTC held by conviction buyers occurred when BTC dropped to $60k in January.

JUST IN: The number of Bitcoin holders continue to rise, according to Grayscale 🚀
"We believe that adoption will be driven by more demand for scarce assets, greater adoption of blockchain technology, and generational change in portfolio construction." 👏
New Grayscale research shows the global alternatives market has grown nearly seven-fold since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and crypto now sits right alongside private equity, private credit, and real estate in the mix.
But the real story is who's buying. A BofA survey found that investors aged 21 to 43 allocate 53% of their portfolios outside traditional stocks and bonds, compared with just 26% among those over 44.
That's a massive generational divide, and it matters, because more than $100 trillion is expected to transfer to younger generations over the coming years.
