Matrixport: Bitcoin volatility surges to 62%, key events in September may impact the market

ChainCatcher news, Matrixport released a report stating that Bitcoin's 30-day realized volatility has recently risen to 62%, exceeding its long-term average of 58%. Historical data shows that when realized volatility exceeds 70%, such fluctuations are usually short-lived and provide profit opportunities for traders selling implied volatility at these high levels. Conversely, when realized volatility is below 30%, buying volatility typically offers better risk-reward.

Since June 21, Bitcoin has dropped by 12%, a trend similar to past summer patterns where cryptocurrencies decline in the summer, followed by increased volatility. This trend coincides with several upcoming events that could significantly impact Bitcoin's market dynamics.

Additionally, several important events in September may affect the Bitcoin market, including the U.S. employment report released on September 6, the presidential debate on September 10, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on September 18. These events are expected to have a significant impact on market sentiment.
