A chart shared by Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas reveals that the 60-day volatility of the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) relative to the S&P 500 (SPX) has dropped sharply, from 5.7 times higher a year ago to just 1.2826 today, marking a significant departure from Bitcoin’s previously uncorrelated and unpredictable trading patterns.

Historical volatility this low has only ever been seen before the final bull run. There have been no bearish
