Higher IV suggests traders are anticipating larger price movements ahead.<\/p>\n<p>The BVIV rose early this month alongside an upswing in BTC&#8217;s price and has continued to climb despite the latest pullback from the record high of over $126,000 to around $120,000.<\/p>\n<h2>Bullish seasonality<\/h2>\n<p>BVIV&#8217;s historical data shows that the index tends to spike around this time of year. Both 2023 and 2024 saw significant volatility increases in October, highlighting a recurring seasonal pattern.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/markets\/2025\/08\/11\/calm-before-the-storm-expected-as-bitcoin-volatility-wakes-up\">CoinDesk Research<\/a> notes that 2025\u2019s volatility setup closely mirrors 2023, when it wasn\u2019t until the second half of October that IV began its next major leg higher, rising from an annualized 40% to over 60%.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the same for the spot price. Historically, the second half of October delivers stronger returns than the first. <\/p>\n<p>According to data from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/today\">Coinglass<\/a>, bitcoin has averaged roughly 6% gains each week over the next two weeks, which are among the most bullish periods of the year. November is typically the best performing month, historically delivering more than 45% returns on average. <\/p>\n<p>Expectation over the coming weeks is that IV increases from this current range. <\/p>\n<h2>Broader inverse relationship<\/h2>\n<p>Since late last year, BTC&#8217;s IV has tended to rise more often than not during price pullbacks in a classic Wall Street like dynamics. The inverse relationship is evident from the persistent downtrend in IV since late last year and the broader uptrend in prices. <\/p>\n<p>As bitcoin matures as an asset, the law of diminishing returns suggests price gains will gradually shrink, and volatility will also decline over time. Zooming out, the BVIV model shows a clear long-term downtrend in implied volatility since the metric was first introduced.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s (BTC) implied volatility (IV) gauge has climbed to a 2.5-month high, consistent with the seasonal trends.
