“In an overall bear market, you do not want low volatility coupled with low volume because we’re already in a recessionary period, we believe it could get worse and the Fed will continue to raise rates and people might start taking money off the table. And when there’s low volume and low volatility, it will cause prices to go down faster, it could cause higher volatility,” he said.

“So while low volatility is perhaps an indication that Bitcoin is becoming more boring and less contrarian, low volatility on low volume might not be great for Bitcoin,” he said.
The analysts’ take comes as Bitcoin’s 30-day realized volatility continued to plunge, hitting 52% after months of standing at 64% on an annualized basis. At the same time, Bitcoin trading volume has plunged below the $50 billion mark after standing at over $100 billion at the start of the year.
