Is Bitcoin’s record-low volatility and decline in short-term holders a bull market signal?
The latest report from Glassnode Insights, titled “The Week On-Chain,” emphasized that Bitcoin (BTC) has reached historically low levels of volatility. This has led to a mere 2.9% separation between the asset’s Bollinger Bands, indicating an exceptionally narrow trading range. This situation has only been observed twice in Bitcoin’s history: in September 2016, when BTC traded near $604, and in January 2023, when the asset maintained a steady value of $16,800. As outlined in the report, periods of reduced volatility, combined with investor fatigue, prompt the movement of coins based…
Bitcoin’s sideways price action leads traders to focus on SHIB, UNI, MKR and XDC
Bitcoin (BTC) is on track to form two successive Doji candlestick patterns on the weekly charts but a positive sign is that the price is sustaining above the 20-week exponential moving average ($28,072). This suggests that the bulls have not lost their grip. Popular trader TechDev used the three-week timeframe to show that Bitcoin’s compression above the 20-period moving average was approaching values seen only four times since Bitcoin’s creation.

Bitcoin’s Rally Toward $30K, PayPal’s Stablecoin Fakes, and More
Bitcoin’s price saw a 3% uptick, climbing to just shy of $30,000 in response to a plunge in global long-dated government bond yields. This fall in yields was triggered by China’s far weaker than anticipated trade numbers for July. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield tumbled below the 4% mark. These macroeconomic shifts have seemingly buoyed the crypto market, with other notable cryptocurrencies like Solana (SOL), Toncoin (TON), and Chainlink (LINK) registering gains of over 4% at the time of writing.

However, five days after the pump, BTC closed below $30,000 as buyers struggled to push the price…
