According to Willy Woo, Bitcoin is still in a bear-phase regime, with volatility increasing rather than contracting. This pattern is typically associated with trend continuation rather than with long-lasting bottoms. This does not appear to be a confirmed bottom, but rather a consolidation within weakness.
Based on current volatility patterns, the analyst noted that Bitcoin has not yet reached the late-cycle “capitulation peak,” which typically signals the end of a trend. Bear trends only became weaker after volatility peaked and rolled over in previous cycles.
Woo said that macro bottoms usually follow many smaller volatility spikes, indicating that retail is capitulating. This means that any bounce in the near future may only be temporary.
