Bitcoin's Volatility Has Dropped to a Nine-month Low

The Bitcoin Implied Volatility Index (the level of price fluctuations expected by the market) Bitcoin Volmex Implied Volatility Index has dropped to its lowest level since September 2025 amid weakening investor interest in the cryptocurrency. This was reported on May 26 by the Bloomberg news agency.

"The Bitcoin Volmex Implied Volatility Index fell to 36.11 points, which is the lowest level since September last year and one of the lowest levels since 2023," the article says.

The index shows how strong fluctuations in the price of bitcoin are expected by investors in the next 30 days, the article explains.

The decline occurred against the background of the fact that bitcoin cannot gain a foothold above $ 80 thousand. To date, the cryptocurrency is trading at about $77 thousand, which is almost 40% lower than the record $126 thousand reached in October 2025. Pressure on the market also intensified after investors began withdrawing money from American funds related to bitcoin.

Since the beginning of May, about $1 billion has been withdrawn from such funds. In addition, some investors have switched from cryptocurrencies to shares of companies from the field of artificial intelligence and chip manufacturers.

Alexander Baryshnikov, the manager of the Mining fund at Record Capital Management Company, said yesterday that this week investors are waiting for data on PCE inflation and the revision of US GDP. Inflation above the forecast of 3.2% may increase pressure on bitcoin and bring it back to $71,300. Weaker data will support growth to $78,500-79,500, however, it is premature to talk about a trend reversal without consolidating above $82,850.
