$BTC volatility is asleep. And that's usually when things get interesting.
Implied volatility across the entire options curve has dropped to multi-year lows, even below 2023 summer levels.
Calm conditions are spreading across all expiries. Traders aren't pricing in major moves, and hedging demand remains unusually weak across the board.
When volatility gets compressed this deeply, it rarely stays there forever.
The market is becoming comfortable with silence. I've seen this setup before. The longer the compression lasts, the more explosive the eventual expansion tends to be.
Bitcoin is approaching a major volatility inflection point. The next move could be far bigger than most expect.
