Volatility

Bitcoin’s short-term risk metrics have slipped into extreme territory, reviving debate over whether the market is nearing another major bottom. A widely followed measure, the short-term Sharpe Ratio, has dropped to around -38.38—a level seen only a handful of times in Bitcoin’s history. Analysts tracking on-chain and statistical data say similar readings have previously aligned with long-term buying opportunities.

The 70,000-dollar threshold did not hold. In a climate of high volatility in the United States, bitcoin takes the full brunt of the return of instability in traditional markets. Bond yields under pressure, rising volatility index, marked risk aversion: the macroeconomic backdrop is hardening. This sequence goes beyond a simple technical correction. It illustrates bitcoin's growing dependence on global financial dynamics. So, can the crypto market still free itself from macroeconomic cycles?

Traders are placing sizable bets on Bitcoin’s path through 2026 across leading prediction platforms. Activity on Polymarket, Kalshi, and Myriad suggests a market that expects gradual progress rather than a rapid breakout. More than $84 million in combined volume across seven contracts reflects cautious optimism, balanced by consistent hedging against downside risk. While confidence appears to build later in the year, near-term expectations remain restrained.

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) showed signs of stabilization on Friday after several days of sustained selling pressure. The rebound was led by BlackRock’s flagship product, even as the broader crypto market continued to experience sharp price volatility. While inflows returned, recent data indicate that investor sentiment remains cautious, with market participants closely monitoring ETF flows for signals on near-term direction.

The current stability of bitcoin may conceal a sudden reversal. While the asset opened 2026 at $87,500, rarely combined technical signals, bullish divergence of the RSI, extreme compression of Bollinger bands, indicate an imminent volatility surge. Several analysts mention a possible rebound. However, attention also focuses on another breaking point: the announced end of the four-year cycle, a historic pillar of crypto strategies, now challenged by influential market voices.

If we start looking at the price of bitcoin from the perspective of "adjustment," aren't we simply recreating the same system? Aren't we, by thinking in terms of seasonal adjustments, becoming the new central bankers?

Michael Saylor’s company, Strategy, is facing growing pressure as it challenges MSCI’s plan to exclude crypto-treasury firms from major stock indexes. Strategy, which holds the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin reserve, warned that the proposal misjudges how digital-asset treasuries operate. More so, the plan risks distorting fair index standards.

After weeks of volatility, Bitcoin is showing signs of settling, with analysts noting cautious optimism and the possibility of a year-end rally.

Heavy withdrawals hit BlackRock’s flagship Bitcoin ETF in November, but company executives say the activity reflects normal market behavior, not a shift in long-term sentiment. Momentum from earlier in the year continues to guide the firm’s outlook, supported by the strong demand that once pushed IBIT toward a major milestone.

BitMine is drawing fresh attention as its aggressive buying spree in Ethereum continues. New on-chain activity suggests the company may be preparing another significant purchase, prompting traders to watch whether continued accumulation can steady sentiment in an uneven market. Interestingly, BitMine’s recent purchase activity comes amid broad macro pressures that remain a persistent drag on digital assets.

Wednesday, bitcoin is at stake: between the Fed's boost, the 117,000 $ wall and hungry whales, guaranteed suspense for the crypto market star.

Bitcoin is currently undervalued according to JPMorgan. In a note signed by analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, the American bank estimates that BTC should reach 126,000 dollars by the end of the year, given its historically low volatility. As its risk-return profile approaches that of gold, bitcoin may be entering the most critical phase of its institutional adoption. This is a projection full of meaning for major capital allocators.

As the summer heat reaches its peak, the crypto market could experience an unexpected cooling. In August, the value of token unlocks could drop by half to around 3 billion dollars, down from over 6 billion in July. A sharp decline, certainly, but far from signaling a lasting calm.

While the old hands cash in their winnings, Bitcoin is performing acrobatics: it wobbles, balances, and might even leap. The suspense continues, hats off to the moles.

In a crypto market where volatility is the norm, Bitcoin has just reached an unexpected milestone. It is now less unstable than the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq. This discreet yet significant shift, revealed by Galaxy Digital, challenges a decade of perception of an asset deemed too risky for traditional portfolios. More than just a technical indicator, this signal could mark a lasting status change for the first cryptocurrency.

The extreme volatility of Bitcoin is resurfacing, fueled by a cocktail of economic uncertainties and government initiatives in the United States. As the crypto market tries to stabilize after a high-tension start to the year, the price of BTC is experiencing violent fluctuations. Within a few days, it peaked at $93,000 before plunging sharply below the $82,000 mark. This dynamic reflects the nervousness of investors in light of two major announcements: the imposition of a 25% tariff by the United States on Canada and Mexico, and Washington's ambition to create a national crypto reserve.
