According to a research report by decentralized crypto-on-chain options platform Derive, the calm that has returned to the bitcoin market may be short-lived and could set the stage for a storm that triggers large price swings. Since March 12, BTC has stabilized in the range of $80,000 to $85,000, and this consolidation typically follows significant directional moves. Due to a number of factors, including President Donald Trump's tariffs and disappointment over the lack of new purchases in the U.S. Strategic BTC Reserve, the price has plummeted from $100,000 to below $80,000 in the previous weeks. With the recent consolidation, key volatility indicators have declined, approaching monthly lows. Volatility, however, is mean reversion, which means that low volatility mechanisms could soon pave the way for price volatility. (CoinDesk)
