Bitcoin Market Cycle Evolution: Declining Volatility Hides New Structural Realities
Compressing Volatility and the Institutionalization of Bitcoin's Market Cycles
Diminishing upside returns are the mandatory price tag for Bitcoin's institutional maturation.
Bitcoin reclaimed its critical 50-week moving average at $78,800 in September, pushing past $86,000 before settling near $83,000 as its MVRV ratio reached 1.54 against a 1.44 annual baseline. While technical traders interpret this recovery as a classic cycle reset, the asset's structural core has irrevocably altered.
