Topic: What happened to Crypto Volatility..??? - page 3. (Read 949 times)

So far I have been quite successful in adding to the Bitcoin I hold. I actually have different allocations of Bitcoins that I hold and that I trade. for the ones I trade, I allocate a fixed amount. while I will withdraw the profits to a different wallet where I hold them.
Actually, I don't need to be afraid of the market situation, because I observe it. I'm not a day trader who has to push myself to make a profit. That doesn't mean I've never lost in trading. but I carefully choose the moment to trade.

I'm sure every trader or investor has their own approach when wanting to take a position. whether you want to buy or sell. I'm also not a professional trader. Sometimes I trade altcoins, but then again I prefer Bitcoin.

Why it has nothing to do with volatility? The volatility always has correlation with the price move.

Not everyday the price can have high volatility, sometimes there is sideways period. During this period, the price seems moving very slowly. It is what happening today.

If it looks difficult to take profits daily, why not stop it temporarily. We mustn't force ourselves to trade daily if the condition seems not very suitable for day trading.

Do you think Bitcoin should be easily to drop around 30% in a single day during the bearish season? I don't think so. Drop around 30% is quite high, it should rarely happen. There must be a big news to trigger the price drop significantly. TBH, I expect there will no drop around 30% again until the next bullrun season.

You are right that the price of Bitcoin is feeling quite a boring position. The kind of volatility that Bitcoin is known for is quite invisible, but one thing that seems to be changing this time is that earlier if the price of Bitcoin fluctuated, it would have the same effect on the market. But this time if the price of Bitcoin goes down even a little bit. So the entire cryptocurrency market falls more, and if the price of Bitcoin rises significantly, all cryptos rise very little. Of course, there are various factors involved, the most influential of which is the dispute between the SEC and Binance


Also, external factors often affect the cryptocurrency market and any bad news can bring the market down. Apart from this, FTX has also been allowed by the court to sell its assets, which has put a lot of pressure on the cryptocurrency market and Bitcoin. Due to which there are risks of the market falling further. Well, the month of September has not been good for the cryptocurrency market from the beginning and often the market can fall here and a bearish trend can be seen. The FOMC meeting next week may also have an impact on the market. The Binance threat is not over yet and it may even create a market rumble. The SEC is claiming that Binance is not providing them with complete information,and this is affecting the market badly.

One factor that we should look at is the market condition. Everything you said has contributed to the poor market condition but the factor that has affected the market more is the bear market condition that we are experiencing. If this was the bull market, all the other factors won't have mattered because the market would had still been getting money flowing in and the market would be giving investors and traders profits bit that's not happening because most individuals are scared.

When we're in the bull market, everything will return to normal as it was in 2021, we shouldn't be scared that the market will stay like this forever. After bitcoin halving, we'll begin to see market volume rising up as many individual starts accumulating bitcoin for the bull market.

Well, things are truly different this time.

Although there's still some glimpse of the past and trend and how the market moved but, things do change for the crypto market whether you're a trader, an investor or just a speculator.

And there is one thing for sure that we're going to see and that's another trend shall pass and people will be hyped again but what could that be?

Certainly, We all have witnessed decline in volatility within crypto currencies market, in particular when it comes to Bitcoin, which typically has a reputation for its extreme price swings. This decrease in price fluctuation can be explained by a variety of factors. One main contribution factor could be  involvement of financial institutions that has brought sense of maturity to the crypto currencies space. Additionally, regulatory bodies like SEC have also contributed to more stable environment. Furthermore, the prevailing market sentiment that seems to favor price consolidation, and external factors. such as the current condition of global economy can also exert influence on this trend.

Agreed on the facts. Long term bags for BTC and potential alt coins is the best strategy in the market. I initially started as an investor in BTC and trust me that was the major profit i made without any headaches.

Each person does have different approach or handling when it comes into their portfolio on which this would really be the ff;

1. Having long term bags and accumulating Bitcoin solely
2. Having long term bag on BTC but making some partitions on making short trades on BTC
3. Long term/Moonbag hold of Alts
4. Short term trading with alts

Its always advisable that you should have at least that available funds which in case the market would really be making out some dumping movement then you could really be easily
be able to accumulate or having the chance on buying cheap and this would really be a huge advantage i should say compared to those who do have limited funds
but of course not everyone does have that kind of financial capability and this is the reason on why we are missing tons of opportunities that this market gives
but well this is really just that part on what you would really be able to experience on this market.

He basically meant he is holding up BTC and just keeping an eye for potential altcoins. Dont think he is a regular trader to catch market moves on a daily basis.

With such a strategy, have you been increasing your holdings that way? It is not usually very profitable to trade Bitcoin in a position for a short-term profit; not that it's absolutely not profitable, but in some market situations, it's usually very difficult for you to make decisions that might cause you to sell at a loss, believing that the price will fall and you will buy back. But if it's been a working strategy for you, then you can continue, although having to use all your holdings to perform the trade is kind of risky. For example, if you have, say, 0.4 BTC, at least you can divide it and use half.

whether it happens to everyone or not, for those who are quite fanatical about Bitcoin, all they do is buy or trade Bitcoin in any market trend conditions.
Maybe in the past, some traders paid attention to the method you explained to get better profits. but now I just believe Bitcoin confidence is increasing and altcoins may be some to watch with a possible pump following the upcoming bull trend.

I personally just prepare my Bitcoins, and trade to increase the quantity of Bitcoins I have.

It’s very strange to hear that now someone is selling their altcoins, what’s the point? If the idea is to sell altcoins and buy bitcoin, then this is also not the best idea now, as for altcoins, then we just need to wait for the altseason, I think that we will still have to wait out the fall and winter, and during this time altcoins may well lose 20 -30% in price. The bear market this year for altcoins is merciless, but perhaps those who are more patient will be able to make a good profit in the bull market.

yea could be one more reason. price action has always taken a huge part in trading volume. in the last bear market bitcoin was ranging between 3000-6000 and now if u see its almost 5x from that position. higher price can be one of the major reason of low volatility.

Low volatility means there's low trading activities going on and this isn't just in the Bitcoin but also in altcoin market because all cryptocurency are getting affected by the bear market and not just the Bitcoin market. Altcoins are losing value more than Bitcoin therefore I don't think people are gaining more trust in altcoins by shifting their investment over there, bitcoin dominance is also increasing as more people are selling their altcoins to buy Bitcoin.

Bitcoin halving is coming so Bitcoin is gaining more popularity than altcoins, after the halving of Bitcoin reward and during the period everyone is assuming that the bull market will start people will start shifting attention to altcoins and that's so they can profit from altcoin.

Personally, I think low volatility simply means that there is a significant reduction in trading volume, and this is very understanding when we consider the fact that we are in a bear market, coupled with the fact that Bitcoin has become a really expensive coin to buy for those who do not have very much money to invest, so those tiny monies are now shifting to some altcoins rather than Bitcoin like it always has been in the previous years, we can confirm this by the declining market dominance of Bitcoin, Ethereum and some other major altcoins..

With uncertainty in the entire crypto market currently, alot of people are either keeping their money in stable coins waiting for market to show some upward strength before they go in again, or they are shifting their investments to altcoins .

One thing certain after all is that, high volatility will return back to the market as soon as Bitcoin starts showing some positive signs of going up again .

It's not a big deal, this has happened countless times, nobody want to lose both the bears and the bulls, everyone is taking caution to avoid been liquidated. If you observe carefully, you will notice that when the market is idle for about a week without any tangible moves, you will see a sudden spike upward  especially when the price stays above the support for some while and when the price shut up a candle, after sometime again, it will get nuke and shutdown another red candle to come back and sit in the previous support; this happened a lot of times when traders want to liquidate one another when there is not any news.

What I think about this low volatility is uncerntainty, when the bulls and the bears are unsure of the next news that will come out for bitcoin, the market tends to always behave like that for a while even upto weeks without any significant moves; I believe if there is good news or bad news, the market knows how to make moves naturally without forcing it to move.

please read the above comments. its not that easy thing to say

The fact that we are not volatile this year doesn't mean we weren't last year or won't be next year neither. The thing about volatility is that it happens time to time and that is why it should be considered different from other stuff. We should be considering this as a thing that needs to be something that changes one way or another and should be a bigger deal.

I hope that it could get to a point where we could just end up with a good result if we just put our mind into it. This is why volatility should not be expected at all moments, and I agree that stagnation is the most regular and common thing we can see on this market, it just happens all the time and should be normal and expected without a doubt.

nothing happened. It's bear market, wait till bull

We know it depends on the demand of bitcoin. During that hype of the bitcoin, many people wanted to have this instead, so there's price action and the market so such volatile,, unlike this day after the ATH, people get take profit and lay low with their earnings and of course they know the possibility with this coming halving the graph already proved the history itself that every halving coming price goes down. People nows mindset is to wait for this and grab the buying opportunity at the lowest point.
