According to Matrixport's latest chart released today, the realized volatility spread between Ethereum and Bitcoin is currently at a low level, indicating that both cryptocurrencies are experiencing similar levels of market fluctuation.
Historically, Ethereum has been considered to have greater upside potential, which usually results in its volatility being approximately 50% higher than that of Bitcoin. However, the current data shows that the realized volatility of both Ethereum and Bitcoin is on par, with a ratio of 1.0.
This unusual alignment in volatility comes at a time of heightened speculation and anticipation in the market, especially ahead of the launch of significant financial products. Analysts and traders often observe volatility metrics to gauge market sentiment and potential price movements, and this parity suggests a unique period of market dynamics.
