At the moment of writing this article, Bitcoin and more important coins in the crypto market are trading in the red. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $9,188.61.

Bitcoin sees low volatility levels
Now, Coindesk revealed that we’re in the fifth week of low-volatility and this is quite similar to when Bitcoin rallied by more than $2,000 back in October 2018.
It was also revealed that the Bollinger bandwidth which is a price volatility gauge, has declined to 0.08, the lowest level since mid-October 2019.
“Bollinger bands are placed two standard deviations above and below the 20-day moving average (MA) of price. Meanwhile, the Bollinger bandwidth is calculated by dividing the spread between the volatility bands by the 20-day MA,” Coindesk writes.
The same online publication also noted that a long period of low-volatility consolidation is often paving the way for a big move in either direction, says a technical analysis theory.
“That’s what happened in four days after Oct. 17. The cryptocurrency suffered a minor drop from $8,000 to $7,300 on Oct 22-23 only to rise sharply to $10,350 by Oct. 26. Essentially, prices rallied by $2,350 in the nine days following the volatility gauge’s drop to 0.08,” Coindesk writes.
