  • Bitcoin’s volatility is at its lowest since the crash, signaling a big price move.
  • Michaël van de Poppe plans to buy on dips and take profits near $80-85K.
  • The 4-hour chart shows compression, indicating potential for significant price action.

Bitcoin has been exhibiting the lowest volatility since the market crash, currently trading at $66,958. According to a chart analysis by crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe, a major price movement could be imminent.

The volatility on #Bitcoin is the lowest it has been since the crash.

That means; there's a big move on the horizon.

If we dip, I'll be a big buyer, for sure.

If we go back upwards, I'll start taking some profits on a test at $80-85K to be trading the trend.

Volatility is… pic.twitter.com/7Irp4iTzT9

The 4-hour chart from KuCoin shows significant price compression, which is often a precursor to large shifts in value. With volatility so low, van de Poppe suggests that both a dip and a rally are possible in the near future.

Strategy for Bitcoin’s Upcoming Price Action

Van de Poppe shared his strategy for navigating Bitcoin’s current market conditions. He stated that if the price dips further, he plans to be a “big buyer,” taking advantage of the lower levels to increase his position.

On the other hand, if Bitcoin rallies and approaches the $80,000 to $85,000 range, he intends to take profits, capitalizing on the upward trend. This cautious approach hinges on his belief that volatility is set to return, triggering a significant market move soon.

Market Indicators and Expected Volatility Surge

The low volatility of Bitcoin is being closely monitored by traders and analysts alike. Historically, periods of low volatility have often been followed by sudden and sharp price movements.

Bitcoin consolidates within a narrow range, and traders like van de Poppe are preparing for a potential breakout, whether upward or downward. His approach highlights the importance of staying agile in the face of market uncertainty and being prepared to act based on market signals.
