Data shows the Bitcoin 7-day volatility has come alive during the last week as the collapse of crypto exchange FTX has shaken up the market. Bitcoin 7-Day Volatility Has Spiked To Values Above 7% According to the latest weekly report from Arcane Research, the current 7-day volatility levels are the second highest seen in this year. The “volatility” is an indicator that keeps track of the average daily returns in the price of Bitcoin over a specific period of time. While this timespan can be of any length, the “7-day” and “30-day” versions of the metric are the most natural. A notable feature of the volatility indicator is that it only measures returns using the closing prices on each day. This implies that any intraday market movements aren’t accounted for by the metric, so as long as the price returns to the norm by the end of the day.

On the other hand, low values suggest the BTC market has been displaying stale activity. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin 7-day and 30-day volatilities over the past year: Looks like the values of the metrics have spiked up in recent days | Source: Arcane Research’s Ahead of the Curve – November 15 As you can see in the above graph, both the 7-day and 30-day versions of the Bitcoin volatility have observed a sharp increase recently. Before this rise, the indicator had very low values for a month or so, with the 7-day version especially reaching historical lows of 1%.

The 7-day volatility has surged above the 7% mark, reaching levels only behind the yearly high of June, when 3AC went bankrupt. Historically, Bitcoin has become calmer following big spikes in the volatility like the one being observed right now. However, the report notes that the current market environment is filled with contagion-related uncertainty and abnormal positioning in derivatives, so the market will likely continue to be volatile in the coming days. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $16.7k, down 5% in the last week. Over the past month, the crypto has lost 12% in value.

Shiba Inu (SHIB), the dog-themed crypto that once dreamed of flipping Dogecoin, is not in solid footing these days as it continues to fail in finding the right rhythm to bounce back and push its price to higher levels. According to latest data from Coingecko, at the time of this writing, the meme altcoin is trading at $0.00000931. Although it managed to climb by 1.5% over the last 24 hours, the asset is still down by 8.5% during the past seven days and by 27.7% over the last two weeks. Shiba Inu lost almost 28% of its value over the last week Within the next five days, SHIB is expected to trade at $0.00000902 SHIB EMA suggests it will once again be caught in a bearish momentum By virtue of its $5.48 billion overall valuation, SHIB managed to climb one step up the ladder, claiming the 13th place in Coingecko ranking of cryptocurrencies according to market capitalization. This, however, did not happen because Shiba Inu was in a decisive bullish rally, but because the broader crypto market continues to struggle following the collapse of one of the world’s largest and leading exchange platforms, FTX. 🐳 The top 5000 #ETH whales are hodling $75,289,824 $SHIB $58,694,355 $MKR $50,253,460 $UNI $43,593,452 $LOCUS $39,330,252 $BIT $33,105,058 $BEST $31,725,680 $LINK $29,067,831 $CHZ Whale leaderboard 👇https://t.co/kOhHps8XBB pic.twitter.com/ENrYvc3bUt — WhaleStats (tracking crypto whales) (@WhaleStats) November 15, 2022 ETH Whales Continue To Hold SHIB In High Regard? According to data shared by crypto whale tracker WhaleStats on Twitter, SHIB was the top altcoin being held by the top 5,000 Ethereum whales. Collectively and currently, these major investors are in possession of $75,289,824 worth of Shiba Inu tokens. MakerDAO (MKR) was second on the list, accounting a total value of almost $58.7 million. Uniswap (UNI) also made the list, occupying the third slot as the ETH whales are hodling $50.25 million worth of the digital asset. Rounding up the top five are Locus Chain (LOCUS) ($43.59 million) and BitDAO (BIT) ($39.33 million). Meanwhile, also included in the list of top altcoins being held by the top 5,000 Ethereum whales are Bitpanda Ecosystem (BEST) ($33.10 million), Chainlink (LINK) ($31.72 million) and Chiliz (CHZ) ($29.06 million). If it’s any indication, this data proves that these seasoned investors known in crypto space as “whales” have not lost their faith in Shiba Inu, accumulating large quantity of it and holding onto it until the time comes when they can make considerable profit from it. Shiba Inu Headed Towards Another Decline Considering its current situation, SHIB may not be in a good position to reward these Ethereum whales anytime soon. According to the asset’s 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) that has settled below its 50-day EMA, it is most likely that Shiba Inu will once again experience price dump over the next few days.

Source: TradingView This sentiment is re-echoed by the forecasts of Coincodex which suggest that within the next five days, the altcoin will trade at $0.00000902 while a month from now, a sharper price decline will be experienced by the asset which will pull it all the way down to $0.00000639. A consolation, at the very least, for the meme crypto, is that its 200-day EMA suggest that on a long-term, there will be relief as bears are not seen to be in control all year long.
