    Bitcoin’s waning volatility marks maturity amid macroeconomic updates

    In the short term, however, Bitcoin underwent fluctuations last week amid macroeconomic updates in the US, with prices swinging from $66,000 on Wednesday morning to nearly $70,000 later that day. By the end of the week, the flagship coin settled back to just above $66,600, as per the Kaiko BTC Benchmark Reference Rate. Overall, Bitcoin dipped by just over 4% last week, with selling outpacing buying on nearly all exchanges.“The net cumulative volume delta (CVD) for top BTC trading pairs reached $518mn between June 10- 14, with Binance and Bybit witnessing the most selling activity,” Kaiko analyst wrote.Despite the rollercoaster ride driven by macro news, Bitcoin has already shown signs of maturation in 2024. Specifically, the research notes that Bitcoin’s 60-day historical volatility has remained below 50% since the beginning of 2023. This contrasts sharply with the massive fluctuations of 2022, when volatility exceeded 100%. Bitcoin’s volatility hit an all-time low of 40%, far lower than the peaks of over 106% seen in 2021 when it reached record highs. Even the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US was relatively muted on the volatility front. While it’s too early to declare this the new norm, changes to Bitcoin’s market structure over the past year may help explain the relatively ‘boring’ price action.“The US market close now commands a higher share of trading volumes, as BTC liquidity becomes more concentrated around the East coast trading window,” the report noted. Therefore, Bitcoin ETF demand trends should not be ignored when analyzing price movements. The reversal of inflows in US Bitcoin ETFs last week likely contributed to some of the selling pressure, as did macroeconomic news. As with all emerging asset classes, cryptocurrency is more likely to experience higher volatility due to new capital flows.Kaiko concluded that Blackrock has overtaken Grayscale’s Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (NYSE:GBTC) in terms of assets under management. The $10 trillion asset manager now holds the title of the world’s largest spot Bitcoin ETF, surpassing the crypto-native incumbent. More

    ‘Buy the Dip’: Crucial Crypto Market Metric Shows Unexpected Bullishness

    The most recent price movement of Bitcoin indicates that it is testing important support levels at approximately $65,000. Significant support lines are being provided by the 50-day EMA and the 200-day EMA, and a hold above these levels may signal stabilization. There is a chance that investors can take advantage of the current dip to add more Bitcoin because this consolidation phase frequently precedes potential recoveries.More information can be obtained by examining funding rates on different exchanges. Positive funding rates exist for popular cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana, which traders are prepared to pay a premium for in order to hold onto their long positions.When it is positive, this measure becomes a key gauge of market sentiment and frequently suggests an upcoming bullish reversal. Furthermore, a significant number of long positions — 407. 91 million over the course of the last day — are being liquidated, according to the liquidation heatmap.Although this may appear unfavorable, at first, it frequently hints at a market reset in which excess leverage is eliminated to make room for a more steady upward trend, given that there is potential for upward movement without the possibility of sudden overbought conditions. For now, the RSI for Bitcoin is circling the neutral zone. In spite of the recent market decline, this and the positive funding rates suggest that there may be room for optimism. However, it would have been better for the asset if the RSI were around the reversal zone.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Bitcoin price today: slides to $65k amid high liquidations, ETF outflows

    The world’s largest cryptocurrency fell roughly 1% in the past 24 hours to $65,635 by 04:34 am ET (08:34 GMT). BTC has initially dropped as low as $64,000, before reversing some of the sharp losses.The cryptocurrency has been hovering around its 50-day moving average at $66,000, putting the medium-term uptrend to the test.Bitcoin has had a relatively quiet weekend, mainly hovering around the $66,000 mark. Monday’s trading started slowly but picked up momentum later in the day. However, following an unexpected surge in volatility, the premier crypto asset dropped by over $3,000, hitting its lowest level since May 15.This sharp volatility negatively impacted over-leveraged traders, with more than 190,000 positions liquidated in the past day, totaling over $480 million. Simultaneously, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw net outflows of $145 million, extending last week’s poor performance and further dampening bullish sentiment in the market.Last week, Bitcoin fell below $65,000 for the first time in a month as ETF outflows exceeded $500 million after the Federal Reserve indicated only one interest rate cut for 2024.According to market analysts, other factors also did nothing to help support Bitcoin’s price. For instance, French President Emmanuel Macron unexpectedly called a snap election in the country, a move that strengthened the dollar as traders dumped the euro.A strong dollar typically puts pressure on Bitcoin as it makes dollar-denominated assets more attractive to investors, reducing demand for alternative assets like Bitcoin.Beyond Bitcoin, most major altcoins also experienced slight declines on Monday morning.The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, ETH/USD, dropped by 2.7% to $3,447.18, while Cardano fell nearly 6.4%. In contrast, XRP rose by 2.1%, but Solana saw a 4.8% decline.Meme tokens faced significant losses, with DOGE/USD and Investing.com Shiba Inu Index plunging 7.6% and 9%, respectively. More
