What to expect from Bitcoin after volatility hits historical lows
Glassnode analysts evaluated Bitcoin’s on-chain metrics and noted that the asset has come to resemble stablecoins in terms of its volatility. Bitcoin has been trading within an incredibly tight $869 range over the past week. The weekly low was $18,793 and the high $19,662.

It's important to note since periods of extremely low volatility for Bitcoin are very rare and are typically followed by a substantial breakout higher or lower. Analysts therefore armed themselves with a bull and a bear case scenario from a primarily on-chain perspective.
Analysts observed that the volume of coins transferred in Bitcoin transactions hitting Glassnode’s nodes mempool has witnessed a sustained burst higher since September 2022. The mempool is where all the valid transactions wait to be confirmed by the Bitcoin network.
A high mempool size indicates more network traffic which will result in longer average confirmation time and higher priority fees. Coupled with the high volume of Bitcoin transferred there was a very modest increase in average fee rate paid. These metrics provide a potential view of a changing tide, with a sustained uptrend this increases the odds of a true market recovery.
