Show Notes
Matt breaks down Bitcoin’s current volatility or lack of it. We’ve now seen 10 straight weeks where price hasn’t moved more than 10%, and that kind of calm usually doesn’t last. He runs through what similar low-vol periods looked like in past cycles and what tends to come after. There’s also a quick dive into Bitcoin’s volatility percentiles, and how this stretch compares to the quiet zones of 2012, 2016, and 2020. Spoiler: those didn’t stay quiet for long. If you’re wondering whether the recent chop means we’re topping out or just coiling up, this episode gives you a few solid data points to keep in mind.
