- 12:16Bitwise advisor: Bitcoin OG whales are still selling, which may be unfavorable for price increasesChainCatcher news, Bitwise advisor Jeff Park stated in an article, "The current market structure is fundamentally not conducive to a substantial price increase for bitcoin. The reason is that, on one hand, bitcoin OG holders are still continuously selling, while on the other hand, demand from ETF and DAT is simultaneously slowing down. For bitcoin to break out of its current trend, it must return to a significantly higher level of implied volatility in a sustained manner, especially upward volatility. Back in November, I said 'volatility or death,' and shared the first abnormal breakout signal at that time, and finally saw volatility start to pick up again, reigniting some hope. Unfortunately, over the past two weeks, implied volatility has once again been comprehensively suppressed. From a peak of 63% in late November, it has now fallen back to 44%."
