Low volatility and leverage in the options and futures markets suggest recent price increases are being driven by demand in the spot market
The lower volatility and leverage in the options and futures markets suggest that Bitcoin's breakthrough of $70,000 on Friday was more driven by demand in the spot market. Retail investors tend to buy tokens in the spot market rather than using derivatives that help increase leverage.
