Bitcoin returns above $64,000, rising more than 1% intraday on August 18 to become the only crypto asset among the day’s top gainers with a notable increase. On the same day, Fundstrat also told clients that Bitcoin’s current low-volatility regime may be nearing its end, and that price swings within the next 60 days could reach 30%, advising investors to prepare for a market with clearer direction.
