Analysis

Glassnode data marks this period as one of the cheapest times to buy volatility in years for BTC, yet recent buyers still lost money because bitcoin:native delivered less movement than priced in.

Price sits at $63395.78 inside a bearish structure with EMA50 resistance at $63542.55 and EMA200 at $63684.38; the neutral RSI(14) at 52.27 paired with a MACD golden cross points to a likely test of the lower Bollinger band support at $62760.72 before any sustained continuation, reinforcing the compression between implied and realized volatility that has defined the last six months.
