According to cryptocurrency trader Josh Rager, Bitcoin’s historical volatility is on the verge of dropping below 40. 

Based on the coin’s price action, this most likely indicates that a major price move is on the horizon.

Bitcoin’s average volatility over the last 30 days recently plunged to just 1.57 percent.

However, seasoned traders know that tweets Bitcoin performing like a stablecoin do not age well (especially for the bulls).   

As noted by Rager, this was the case in early March when BTC corrected more than 60 percent in three weeks after its volatility dipped below 40. On March 13, Bitcoin had its third-biggest daily loss to date of nearly 51 percent.

The same happened in November 2018 before BTC collapsed to its multi-year low of $3,100 in December.

It is worth noting that both of the massive price drops that were mentioned above were accompanied by unfavorable exogenous events (Bitcoin Cash's hard fork and the global lockdown, respectively). Hence, Bitcoin’s streak of low volatility is not necessarily good news for the bears.

In late March, when Bitcoin was playing dead for weeks, its volatility dropped to as low as 20, but it was followed by a 32 move in one week.
