Crypto is being boring

The crypto market is well known for its volatility. But, lately the volatility seems to have taken a vacation. During the few times that the volatility dies down, it may be good to pay attention.

It's often said that there are many opportunities in the market for those that behave like 'contrarians': i.e. the folks that buy during market 'capitulation' and sell into the extreme hype and high prices.

So now that there is so little volatility that its hard to even care about crypto, we think its worth a shot in paying some extra attention.

We recently checked out a good way to measure volatility.

There is a beta index, a "crypto volatility index" that can be found at https://cvi.finance/

As far as we are able to look back at the beta cvi, we can't see any other time that the volatility is as low as it is today.

We are keeping our eyes peeled and looking for opportunities in crypto, specially now that there is little reason for people to pay attention.

Check back here as we share what we find out.
