📊 #BTC has made new highs this year and gone through two meaningful corrections. On the surface, that looks volatile.

But on a realized volatility basis, 2025 is shaping up as one of Bitcoin’s least volatile years on record.

📊👀 #BTC Glassnode Report: Momentum strengthened with the 14-day RSI rising from 38.6 to 58.2 and spot trading volume increasing 13.2% to $11.1 billion. However, spot CVD fell from -$40.8 million to -$111.7 million, indicating that selling pressure is intensifying. Also, online activity stabilized slightly.

📊🤔 Crypto activity just had its biggest cool off in months. Chain revenues fell to $200M in November, with BSC taking the heaviest hit after a surge in October.

App revenues told the same story. PancakeSwap went from one of the top earners in the entire industry to a fraction of its October run rate.

Such revenue troughs historically precede bull market recoveries, with similar 70%+ drops in 2021 leading to 2-3x price gains within six months across major chains like Ethereum and Solana.

🇺🇸🫂 Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup CEOs will meet with senators on Thursday to discuss crypto market legislation, according to Bloomberg.

🗽🧐 #BTC has been consistently dumping ~2-3% within minutes of the US cash open (10 a.m. ET) almost every trading day since early November. Many traders point to Jane Street’s massive $2.5B+ position in BlackRock’s IBIT as the likely driver: engineered liquidity sweeps to accumulate spot #ETF's at a discount. source
