Bitfinex said implied volatility outpacing the historical metric indicates that traders foresee wilder price swings ahead.

The latest edition of the Bitfinex Alpha report revealed that cryptocurrency traders are bracing themselves for “choppy waters” ahead due to bitcoin’s sudden plunge after a languid period.

The downward move was followed by a major open interest wipeout, considered one of the largest in the asset’s history. Roughly $3 billion in open interest was obliterated within a few hours after the crash. Bitfinex said it was one of the largest reductions in day-to-day open interest since December 2021, when BTC hit its all-time high of $69,000.
