Bitcoin stayed surprisingly steady this week as global conflicts <\/a>flared. According to Andr\u00e9 Dragosch, Head of Research at Bitwise Europe, the coin\u2019s recent swings have quieted down.<\/p>\n

Investors saw less shake and rattle even after a 7% dip over the weekend. That calm suggests traders aren\u2019t spooked by every headline anymore.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Volatility Drops Below Stocks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Based on reports from Bitwise Europe, Bitcoin\u2019s 60-day realized volatility<\/a> sat at about 27\u201328% as of June 23. That figure trails the S&P 500 at roughly 30% and lags behind the Nasdaq 100 near 35%.<\/p>\n

Calm Amid Geopolitical Tension<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The recent low volatility is especially clear against rising Middle East clashes<\/a>. News of US bombing in Iran knocked the crypto down 6% to under $100,000. In past crises\u2014like the start of the Russia-Ukraine war in February 2022\u2014Bitcoin\u2019s 60-day realized volatility jumped to around 60\u201365%. Back then, traders sold in panic. Now, most buyers and sellers seem to hold their ground.<\/p>\n

Long-Term Holders Extend Their Grip<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on reports from Glassnode analysts, long-term holders have hoarded a record 14.53 million BTC on a 30-day average as of June 23. That\u2019s about 70% of the crypto asset\u2019s full 21 million supply.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Over 30% of coins in circulation rest with just 216 large entities\u2014think ETFs, exchanges, custodians, and corporate treasuries. When so many coins sit idle, there\u2019s less to fuel frantic trading.<\/p>\n

Institutional Bets Support Price Outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n

Market veterans like BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes<\/a> and OSL\u2019s Eugene Cheung see this calm as a base for higher prices. They predict Bitcoin will clear $100,000 and stay there as central banks print cash and big investors pile in.<\/p>\n

Some analysts even eye levels above $150,000<\/a> by the end of 2025. Such forecasts rest on steady demand and shrinking supply on exchanges.<\/p>\n

What Comes Next For Bitcoin<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lower swings hint that Bitcoin is maturing, with more people treating it like a regular asset. A quieter market can draw in more cautious investors. But it won\u2019t stay this tame forever.<\/p>\n

Big holders could still spark big moves if they sell large chunks. For now, Bitcoin\u2019s steadier path may mark a turning point\u2014one that blends old-school market behavior with the new forces shaping crypto.<\/p>\n
