BTC volatility has been on record lows in recent weeks, in spite of strengthened geopolitical uncertainty around the world. Data from an advanced crypto analytic firm Ceteris Paribus showed that it hasn’t had a 5% daily move for 24 straight days. This is the longest since a 27-day streak that ended on Apr 1, 2019. 1 month return after that was +31%.
The longest streak before that was 29 days which ended on Nov 13, 2018. 1 month return after that was -48%.

Quick fact: Realized volatility refers to volatility as defined by various timespans. Low volatility tends to concern BTC traders and analysts, particularly over extended periods, as a kickback is all too often triggered afterward.

What you should know: Bitcoin revolutionized digital money by decentralizing the accounting process. Instead of a central figure that is responsible for making sure that their users’ transactions are always adding up, Bitcoin works by sharing the account balances and transactions of every user across the globe in a pseudonymous form. In simplest terms, this means that anyone can download and run the free and open-source software required to participate in the Bitcoin protocol.
