Bitcoin experienced a notable decline over the past week, with its price falling by 10.78%, extending the monthly drawdown to 20.57%. This price action occurred alongside a significant increase in 7-day realized volatility, which now stands at 56.15%, considerably above its 90-day baseline of 40.60%. The broader market sentiment, as indicated by the Fear & Greed Index, deteriorated further into 'Extreme Fear' at a value of 8, reflecting the current Bitcoin market dynamics.

Bitcoin is seeing a rebound fueled by significant corporate purchases, notably from Strategy, which recently acquired 1,550 BTC.
