Bitcoin, Price is Quiet but Signals are ON...Final Silence Before Reaching $80,000?

▲ Bitcoin (BTC)

As Bitcoin (BTC) volatility fell to its lowest level since early 2026, the market entered a breather phase where expectations of breaking $80,000 clashed with slowing buying momentum.

According to the cryptocurrency specialized media Bitcoinist on May 26 (local time), Bitcoin is showing a trend of regaining upward momentum after a recent correction. While many cryptocurrency analysts anticipate a move towards the key price level of $80,000, major indicators showed that volatility in the Bitcoin market is gradually subsiding.

Arab Chain, a contributor to CryptoQuant, stated that the BTC Annualized Realized Volatility Index has turned downwards again. He analyzed that this trend indicates a reduction in market anxiety and a gradual entry into a cooling phase. Bitcoin's price moved around $76,000, and based on the 30-day chart, this indicator fell to approximately 0.26, which is the lowest level since early 2026.

Bitcoinist explained that the recent Bitcoin price movement has become less erratic compared to past periods of extreme price fluctuations. When this indicator drops to its current level, it signifies a relatively calm market volatility environment, a different trend from the high volatility waves repeatedly observed during rapid price increases or decreases over the past month. Previously, this indicator exceeded 0.70 in some phases, coinciding with strong price movements.

While a decrease in volatility is not necessarily a bullish or bearish signal on its own, strong price movements have often followed prolonged periods of quiet trends. Especially in the derivatives market, if positions accumulate in a specific direction, new volatility waves can be triggered, so traders are keeping a close eye on this indicator. If low volatility continues, market participants may reduce their risk exposure and enter a stronger waiting phase, anticipating a new catalyst.

A slowdown in buying activity was also observed. Joao Wedson, founder of Alphractal, stated that the number of wallet addresses actively accumulating Bitcoin is currently lower than 60 days ago. While Strategy continued to purchase additional Bitcoin during this period, Wedson assessed that the company's accumulation volume is not large compared to the overall Bitcoin blockchain size. He explained that true accumulation often occurs during extreme fear phases when the public is convinced that Bitcoin is over.
