Bitcoin‘s (BTC) price volatility has been showing an increasing trend in recent days. Despite the turbulent market conditions, Yann Allemann, co-founder of leading on-chain data platform Glassnode, stated that a sharp drop in the price of the largest cryptocurrency is unlikely.
Optimism Grows Amidst Market Uncertainty
Bitcoin, which experienced a promising 6% rise over the weekend and tested the $28,500 level, lost its gains by 4.5% the next day.
This decline is partly attributed to the underperformance of Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) launched on October 2nd and increasing concerns about an impending economic crisis. However, the “Bitcoin Risk Signal,” a proven indicator, dropped below the high-risk threshold, signaling optimism.
Yann Allemann, co-founder of Glassnode, highlighted the Bitcoin Risk Signal indicator and evaluated the likelihood of a significant drop in Bitcoin’s price. Allemann stated that there is no significant drop on the horizon for BTC.
