Bitcoin volatility resurges as the market breaks above $82,000–$83,000, according to Glassnode analysis. The move ends weeks of tight consolidation and signals a return of market volatility.

Odaily Planet Daily report: Glassnode analysis indicates that Bitcoin has broken through key resistance to rise to $82,000–$83,000, ending weeks of narrow consolidation and restoring market volatility. Options data shows the short-term 1-week implied volatility rebounded by approximately 6 percentage points, while long-term volatility remains muted, signaling a rapid recovery in short-term trading demand.

On sentiment and positioning, the 25-delta skew is converging toward neutral, with reduced downside hedging demand; short-term sentiment remains slightly bearish, while long-term outlook turns bullish, reflecting a repricing of upside expectations. Structurally, implied volatility exceeds realized volatility, with VRP turning positive; a concentrated “short gamma” zone of approximately $2 billion exists near $82,000, potentially amplifying volatility. Over the past 24 hours, 81% of options sold were calls, indicating a market bias toward consolidation.
