On March 18th, according to a research report from Derive, a decentralized on-chain options platform, the tranquility in the Bitcoin market recovery might be only temporary and could set the stage for a storm that leads to significant price volatility. Since March 12th, BTC has been maintaining stability within the range of $80,000 to $85,000. This consolidation phase usually occurs after a substantial directional movement. Due to various factors such as President Donald Trump's tariffs and the disappointment over the absence of new purchases for the U.S. strategic BTC reserve, the price has plummeted from above $100,000 to below $80,000 in the past few weeks. With the recent consolidation, key volatility indicators have decreased and approached monthly lows. However, volatility shows mean-reverting behavior, indicating that the low volatility regime may soon make way for price turbulence. (CoinDesk)

It is noteworthy that despite the impact of the European MiCA regulatory framework on USDT, the market has not witnessed a large-scale outflow of funds.
