BTC 7-Day Volatility at 3.1% Exceeds 1-Year Average of 2.5%

Current market data reveals notable trends in cryptocurrency investments:

  • BTC volatility contrasts with equities, showing a 7-day volatility of 3.1%, above its 1-year average of 2.5%.
  • The S&P 500 experienced its largest one-week volatility since April 2020 following significant sell-offs.
  • CME trader sentiment indicates defensive positions, yet traders remain relatively unfazed by equity market fluctuations.
  • CME yields show a mild uptrend, while premiums are soft at 6.3%, reflecting cautious positioning.
  • Open interest is flat at 11-month lows, with the futures-based ETF holding 43,930 BTC, its lowest since July 2024.

This cautious approach without panic may indicate stable investor sentiment, though future market movements will determine its sustainability.
