On July 24, crypto derivatives analytics platform Greeks Live noted that the volatility index for both Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) has fallen to a multi-year low of 37%.

DVOL is the Deribit Implied Volatility Index. It gives an indication of the expected volatility for a crypto asset over the next 30 days by analyzing option activity. In simple terms, the index can indicate investors" expectations for a crypto"s price turbulence.


Greeks Live noted that continued low liquidity has severely depressed implied volatility (IV) levels for Bitcoin.


This suggests that derivatives traders are not confident that there will be any major moves in crypto markets in the short term and the lack of volatility is likely to continue, it said. “It is an indisputable fact that the overall volatility of cryptocurrencies is declining, which will inevitably force the implied volatility of cryptocurrencies to keep going to new lows.”

Other analysts using different metrics have echoed the sentiment. On July 24, crypto analyst Josh Olszewicz observed that Bitcoin’s weekly Bollinger Bands had contracted to record levels. “This is officially the tightest bbands [Bollinger Bands] have ever been on the weekly timeframe,” he said.
