Bitcoin’s relatively low volatility may have a lot of traditional bulls turned off but all along we and many other analysts have said that a day would come when Bitcoin has shed its volatility.

Boring Bitcoin is a term rarely used but might be more common in the future as Bitcoin sheds its volatility over time. That has been ever more evident over the last week of trading.

We all know about the Netherlands and the “tulip mania” that consumed the Dutch people starting in the early 1700’s when merchants from the Ottoman Empire introduced the tulip to the Dutch from the in the mid-1500's, the flower became popular because it tolerated the region’s harsh climate conditions. The Netherlands became a prime location for growers and sellers of the seeds and bulbs.

Traders shrugged away any worries over the pandemic and its curve that in America any way never flattened but just keeps climbing.

BTC futures are trading lower today for the fifth sessions in a row today fractionally lower. As of 4:00 PM EDT Bitcoin futures are trading at $9,120, down approximately .20% on the day. But it seems that BTC may be making a return to rally mode again and the 50-day moving average currently at $9,123 looks just like the place to recover from.

This week in BTC we in essence closed were we started, at the 78% retracement at $9,249. Combined with last week’s doji candle we have seen the least amount of volatility in the market for quite some time. We have also seen a decrease in volume in BTC over the last three weeks.

Bitcoin futures in the CME are trading fractionally lower on the day, currently down $35 or .37% at $9,340 as of 5:00 PM EST. Of realm interest today was the low that briefly breached support at $9,250 and almost touched upon the 50-day moving average, something that has not occurred since April when pricing rose above this average.

The golden cross formed in BTC futures between the 50 and 200-day moving averages has not only remained but the gap between the two continues to widen. This is a very bullish technical indicator however it can suggest a market is overbought.

Bitcoin futures are trading up on the day by a respectable 3.8% or $360, currently trading at $9,675 on the CME.  Although this a great day for the bulls and re-affirms that support is sitting right at $9,250, the 78% retracement it doesn’t have much room to the upside without taking out the elusive $10,000 level.

Gold pricing surged to higher ground today, as renewed concerns about a second wave of the pandemic triggers concerns leading to safe haven demand.
