Bitcoin's spot volume reached $16 billion on September 18 after the US Federal Reserve announced a 50 basis point interest rate cut. This high volume, along with strong liquidity, could indicate impending high volatility. Analysts compare Bitcoin's current price action to a coiling spring due to its compressed price range over the past six months. The release of pressure from macro events, such as the interest rate cut, often leads to increased market volatility. Institutions are also not aggressively shorting Bitcoin, and both inflows and outflows from the market have become quiet, suggesting a state of equilibrium. However, the rising supply of stablecoins could potentially break this equilibrium and create a friction between inactivity and demand.
