On July 5th, the volatility of Bitcoin is currently at 1.62%, with it previously dropping to 1.45%. Over the past two months, Bitcoin has been continuously fluctuating within a narrow range between $93,000 and $111,000, which is in sharp contrast to its historical price trends. Market analysts attribute the decrease in volatility to multiple factors, with the increase in bullish option writing by Bitcoin holders being particularly crucial.

Conversely, if Bitcoin rises above $109,000, the cumulative intensity of short liquidation on mainstream CEXs will reach $592 million. BlockBeats Note: The liquidation chart does not display the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or the exact value of the liquidated contracts. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the significance of each liquidation cluster in relation to adjacent liquidation clusters, that is, intensity. Therefore, the liquidation chart shows to what extent the price of the asset will be affected when it reaches a certain level. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that when the price reaches that level, it will trigger a more intense reaction due to a liquidity cascade.
