BlockBeats News, May 26th, Bitcoin's expected volatility has dropped significantly to a nine-month low. The Bitcoin VIX Index (reflecting the 30-day expected volatility based on option prices) has fallen to 36.11, the lowest since September last year, and close to the low point since 2023. The lackluster trading activity, coupled with speculative funds shifting from Bitcoin to other assets, has weakened the demand for options protection.

The Bitcoin price has also retraced to near the lows seen since September last year, with the overall crypto market showing a "breather" trend. Market sentiment is relatively calm, and short-term volatility is expected to remain at low levels.
