The market has been unusually quiet lately. Bitcoin's 30-day implied volatility has dropped to 40%, the lowest level since October last year. Did you know? This kind of silence often precedes a major move.

Last night, as expected, Bitcoin broke through $96,000, and Ethereum surged past $3,300, with 24-hour gains of 4.4% and 7.4% respectively. This is not just small fluctuations; it’s a sign that the direction has been set.

From the trading data, such low implied volatility sustained for so long indicates that large funds are waiting for a clear signal. Now that this signal has appeared, the subsequent trading space should gradually open up. At least from a technical perspective, this breakout carries a relatively positive implication.

Wake up, wake up. This time, there's definitely something worth it. After waiting so long, it's finally moving.

Volatility at 40% hitting a new low and then talking about a big market move, but I feel this is just the calm before a chain of liquidations... --- Breaking below 96,000 looks satisfying, but the health factor still needs to be closely monitored. Don’t be fooled by the surface-level gains. --- Waiting for big funds to give signals? I think they’re just looking for the liquidation price. A domino push triggers a chain reaction. --- Implied volatility is so low and still maintained... It indicates either big funds are truly bullish or everyone is closing positions to hedge risks. One of the two. Risk control thresholds shouldn’t be loosened too much. --- Technically, it’s quite positive, but we also need to check the borrowing rate. How long this rally can last remains to be seen. --- Deleveraging hasn’t fully eased yet, and now they want to chase the high? Systemic risk is always there.
