Bitcoin Volatility Currently Stands at 1.62%

6 hours ago

On July 5th, the volatility of Bitcoin is currently at 1.62%, with it previously dropping to 1.45%. Over the past two months, Bitcoin has been continuously fluctuating within a narrow range between $93,000 and $111,000, which is in sharp contrast to its historical price trends. Market analysts attribute the decrease in volatility to multiple factors, with the increase in bullish option writing by Bitcoin holders being particularly crucial. Despite the decline in volatility, the Bitcoin perpetual contract funding rate remains positive, indicating that the market's bullish sentiment remains unchanged. BlockBeats Note: High Bitcoin volatility is often associated with speculative trading and retail fear of missing out (FOMO) sentiment. A decrease in volatility may indicate a reduction in short-term speculators, with the market entering a consolidation phase or a "cooling-off period." Furthermore, Bitcoin price volatility is often linked to macroeconomic events such as inflation expectations, interest rate changes, or geopolitical risks. When these external factors stabilize, Bitcoin's volatility may decrease accordingly.

1confirmation Founder: Strong supporter of Ethereum, without which the industry cannot continue to move forward

On July 5th, Nick Tomaino, the founder of the crypto venture capital firm 1confirmation, put up a post saying, "We wholeheartedly back Ethereum. Without it, this industry won't be able to keep moving forward. The values of trust neutrality, open source, and permissionless innovation must be continuously promoted." Some current trendy things like venture capital chains and enterprises adopting an Ethereum treasury strategy actually have nothing to do with these values. This doesn't mean they aren't good. They might be good. But as Hal Finney said 33 years ago, "Computers can be utilized to liberate and protect people instead of controlling them."
