Murphy says rising BTC chip concentration points to bigger volatility in the next one to two months

Analyst Murphy said Bitcoin has posted consecutive daily doji candles, with rare upper and lower wick swings showing up on the chart. He pointed to data showing that on Aug. 1, two chip distribution bars formed in the $62,000-$63,000 range, totaling about 1.68 million BTC, with chip concentration at 12.9%. On Oct. 3, another two prominent bars appeared in the $83,000-$84,000 range, totaling about 1.52 million BTC, while concentration had risen to 12%. Murphy said the upper warning zone is now close. He also noted that after a similar data combination appeared on Aug. 1, BTC moved from $60,000 to $80,000 in just 17 days. In his view, heavier chip accumulation and rising concentration do not point to a confirmed direction on their own, but they do suggest that the probability of amplified volatility is increasing. He expects the market could see a major move within as little as one month, or as long as two months.

SOL ecosystem meme coin SI briefly tops $55 million in market cap

According to GMGN market data, SI, a meme coin in the Solana ecosystem, briefly saw its market capitalization rise above $55 million before falling back to $42.9 million. The token was still up more than 81% on the day at the time of the report. On the news side, U.S. President Donald Trump had previously said he signed a document related to artificial intelligence development with executives from several technology companies, describing it as "a kind of constitution" with "moral binding force." Trump also said that "artificial intelligence," or AI, would be referred to as "superintelligence," or SI. That naming shift drew market attention to meme coin narratives tied to the term. The report also noted that meme coins tend to see sharp price swings and are highly sensitive to market sentiment and topical events, making risk management important for traders.

Treasury volatility climbs while Bitcoin and U.S. stocks stay subdued

Volatility in the U.S. Treasury market has risen sharply even as Bitcoin and U.S. equities remain relatively calm, according to a ChainCatcher report. The MOVE Index, which tracks expected Treasury volatility, climbed from about 80 on Tuesday to 104 on Thursday, its highest level since March. At that time, the index had briefly reached 199. In contrast, the Volmex 30-day Bitcoin implied volatility index, or BVIV, was around 37, close to its yearly low of 35, while the Cboe VIX, which measures expected volatility for the S&P 500, was also near its yearly low at 14. U.S. 10-year Treasury yields touched 5.2% on Thursday before easing back to 5.163%. Over the past 20 trading days, the correlation between the VIX and MOVE fell to -0.06, turning negative for the first time since April 2024. The correlation between BVIV and MOVE stood at -0.37, a relatively low level compared with recent years. The report said rising Treasury volatility often points to tighter financial conditions, but BTC and U.S. stocks have not yet reflected the same degree of risk seen in the bond market.

MOVE index jumps about 29.69% this week as Treasury yields climb to multidecade highs

The ICE BofA MOVE Index, a gauge of volatility in the U.S. Treasury market, has risen about 29.69% so far this week, marking its biggest weekly gain since April last year, according to ChainCatcher. The move came as Treasury yields climbed to multidecade highs, driving a sharper swing in rates markets and prompting traders to pull back from fresh positioning. ChainCatcher said market conditions had turned highly volatile, with many traders choosing to stay on the sidelines rather than add risk. One rates strategy head at Societe Generale was cited as holding a neutral view on U.S. interest rates for now. The strategist said the bank would wait for volatility to ease before putting on trades, reflecting the caution now seen across parts of the market. The report did not provide additional details on specific maturities, yield levels, or trading timeframes beyond this week’s gain in the MOVE Index.
