Bitcoin markets have returned to a state of lethargy following a period of volatility as U.S. regulators intensified their attacks on the industry. As a result, the consolidation has continued as the asset recovers from losses and returns to its range-bound channel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On June 19, on-chain analytics platform Glassnode reported that Bitcoin volatility, volumes, and realized values are at multi-year lows. On its \u201croad to nowhere,\u201d BTC markets showed a minimal response to the world\u2019s largest asset manager, BlackRock, applying for a spot ETF late last week.<\/p>\n

Glassnode analyst \u201c@_Checkmatey_\u201d described<\/a> the current market situation as a hangover period.<\/p>\n

\u201cBitcoin is quiet, volumes are down, and it is pretty clear we are in the hangover apathy phase.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Examining the 30-day price range, Glassnode reported that quiet periods like this are \u201cfew and far in between.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bitcoin has been range-bound for more than three months now. The upper bound of that range was $31,000 on April 15 with the lower bound at $25,000 on June 15.<\/p>\n

These market conditions tend to occur during the \u201capathetic hangover period that follows a bear market,\u201d the report<\/a> added.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, one-month Realized Volatility has also fallen below 40%, one of the lowest recordings since the 2021 bull market.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can see such events are typically experienced during the long, sideways grind as the market finds its feet after a prolonged bearish trend.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Additionally, the absolute value of profit and loss-taking events has sunk to cycle and October 2020 lows of around $268 million.<\/p>\n

The declines have also been seen across derivatives markets, with futures trading volumes falling to $20.9 billion per day. This has occurred due to liquidity across digital asset markets continuing to decline.<\/p>\n

On the upside, \u2018hodlers\u2019 continue to do their thing and accumulate BTC. Coins are being stashed at a rate of around 42,200 BTC per month. This suggests that the \u201cprice insensitive class are absorbing a non-trivial portion of the currently available supply.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span>Crypto Market Outlook<\/span><\/h2>\n

Following a flat three days, Bitcoin prices ticked up during the Tuesday morning Asian trading session. As a result, the asset was changing hands for $26,936, following a 2% daily increase.<\/p>\n

Since its SEC-induced dump last week, Bitcoin has recovered around 8% to current levels. However, the asset remains down 61% from its all-time high and firmly in bear territory.<\/p>\n
