Today's Op-Ed Home on the (BTC) Range BY ANDY BAEHR Hi. I’m Andy Baehr with the CoinDesk Indices team.
Question: Bitcoin is stuck in a range. Is that a bad thing or a good thing? |
| Bitcoin has maintained a 10% trading range (~$101K - ~$111K) for 40 days due to an unclear macro picture influenced by inflation expectations and interest rate speculations.This range-trading supports bitcoin's store-of-value narrative, suggesting relative stability and independence from other risk assets, though the S&P 500 has shown a similar pattern. Low volatility within the range is causing restlessness among traders and negatively affecting other digital assets, as the CoinDesk 20 Index has underperformed bitcoin. Bitcoin's current 40-day range-holding period is close to historical highs, with similar stretches occurring in 2018, 2020, and 2023, raising the question of whether a longer 50-day streak is possible.
