Remarkably unremarkable
Bitcoin is still trading in the $27,000 area for the fifth consecutive Tuesday after yet another week of lackluster price action. The remarkably unremarkable state of the market is now aggressively reflected in most metrics. 7-day average trading volumes have reached a 2.5-year low, 30-day volatility sits at lows not seen since January 11, and trading activity has diminished in perps, leading open interest to flatten completely over the past week.Subscribe to K33 Research Pro to download this report
