Bitcoin’s Calm Seas: A Year Without Drama (Sort Of)

Bitcoin Volatility Graph

Friday rolled in with K33 Research’s data, though I wish they’d presented it with a sizzle. Turns out Bitcoin wrapped up 2025 as the least erratic it’s ever been. Imagine, just 2.24% average deviation in daily returns. Last year’s bad-tempered tantrums look like those annoying little outbursts your toddler throws when they learn to walk. In 2023, by comparison, that figure slunk up to 2.30%. You can practically hear the collective sigh of relief from Wall Street analysts everywhere!

Is Bitcoin About to Throw a Tantrum or Just Pretending to Be Interesting? 🤔🚀

The resistance levels above $95K are about as welcoming as a porcupine in a balloon factory-a prickly barrier that’s yet to give way. RSI’s climbing, but not high enough for a victory dance, meaning there’s still a comfortable room for a confidence collapse. If buyers don’t muster some courage, we might see a dance back down to $80K-the “meh” zone of support. Basically, it’s the financial equivalent of a squirrel contemplating crossing a busy road: maybe, maybe not, but probably not today.
