Bitcoin's implied volatility sees a marked decrease, signaling a shift towards a more stable market.
Bitcoin (BTC) volatility has been decreasing since its halving in April, which indicates a shift towards price stability, according to the latest “Bitfinex Alpha” report.
Bitcoin’s implied volatility (BVIV) plummeted by 18%, from 74.5% to 56.4%, signaling a market adjustment to the new supply dynamics. Ethereum’s implied volatility (EVIV) also fell by 9.9%, from 61.9% to 52%, despite a slight uptick in price.

Bitcoin’s VRP dramatically decreased to 2.5% from 15%, with Ethereum’s VRP following suit, dropping to 8.5% from 18%. This narrowing of the VRP points to a realignment of investor sentiment towards a more predictable post-halving market environment.
The changes in spot-volatility correlations for Bitcoin and Ethereum further underscore this trend, with Bitcoin’s one-week spot-vol correlation decreasing to -20% from -56%. The market’s response to the halving indicates a lessened concern for future uncertainties and a consensus that volatility may be lower than previously expected.

The Realised Loss breakdown reveals that short-term holders are currently the main drivers of selling pressure. However, the Short-Term Holder MVRV (STH-MVRV) ratio is at 0.96, hinting at a potential market recovery as selling pressure subsides.
Moreover, the Bitcoin Fundamental Index (BFI), an index that assesses various aspects of Bitcoin’s network health also points to a possible upward trend, as network growth indicators surpass levels seen at past market bottoms. The market’s direction now heavily relies on liquidity expectations set by upcoming FOMC decisions, Bitfinex’s analysts conclude.
