Market Update Oct.9: BTC Volatility on its yearly low. What’s next?

After a particularly volatile year, we have experienced a relatively stable week. Certainly the most stable it’s been since its beginning. Can we say that the market is stabilizing? After a prolonged bear market, the market has formed with the opinion that the bottom is already here. However, do not be misled by the apparent stability because crypto markets are unpredictable and are known for their high volatility. So, it’s quite possible that after hitting the floor we could fall through into the basement because another collapse is always an option placed on the table.

The crypto market size is around $220 billion, and the dominance is 52.3 percent for Batecken, but it has not changed much since last week.
