Bitcoin is poised for a period of heightened volatility and uncertainty after a key options volatility index broke its recent downtrend, CoinDesk reports. The outlet noted that Volmex's 30-day BTC Implied Volatility Index (BVIV) has breached its downward trendline, signaling a greater likelihood of market instability in the short term.
