According to BlockBeats, recent data from Coinglass indicates that Bitcoin's volatility has decreased for two consecutive days, currently standing at 2.02%. This level of volatility has returned to what was observed at the end of February this year. High volatility in Bitcoin is often associated with speculative trading and retail investors' fear of missing out (FOMO). A decline in volatility may suggest a reduction in short-term speculative activity, leading the market into a consolidation or 'calm' phase. Additionally, Bitcoin's price fluctuations are frequently linked to macroeconomic events such as inflation expectations, interest rate changes, or geopolitical risks. When these external factors stabilize, Bitcoin's volatility tends to decrease accordingly
According to BlockBeats, data from Coinglass indicates that if Bitcoin surpasses $105,000, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on major centralized exchanges (CEX) will reach $1.152 billion. Conversely, if Bitcoin falls below $102,000, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on these exchanges will amount to $1.106 billion. BlockBeats notes that the liquidation chart does not display the exact number of contracts pending liquidation or their precise value. Instead, the chart's bars represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to nearby clusters, indicating intensity. Therefore, the chart illustrates the potential impact on the market when the asset price reaches certain levels. A higher "liquidation bar" suggests a more intense reaction due to liquidity waves when the price hits those points.
