Bitcoin is showing signs of fatigue as price action flattens and volatility drops to its lowest levels of the year, according to a new market update from QCP Capital.

The firm noted that investor sentiment has cooled, with many now pushing back expectations for a breakout rally to September.

Volatility Sinks, Market Stalls

QCP analysts highlighted that Bitcoin’s volatility continues to decline, reflecting a broader sense of exhaustion across the market. The asset has been range-bound between $100,000 and $110,000, and historical trends suggest volatility could compress further into July.

“There’s currently no visible catalyst to spark a strong upside move,” QCP said, warning that a sharp price drop remains a risk without fresh bullish momentum.

Options Market Shifts Focus to Q3

With near-term upside potential looking limited, QCP observed that investors are delaying bullish positioning, shifting their exposure from July to September-dated options.

The lack of movement has left BTC in a technical holding pattern, and unless the price breaks cleanly above $110,000 or below $100,000, traders are likely to see continued sideways consolidation.

CPI and PPI in Focus

Market participants will now turn their attention to the upcoming U.S. CPI and PPI reports, which could provide fresh direction. A significant inflation surprise in either direction may reignite volatility and influence expectations around Federal Reserve policy, with ripple effects for Bitcoin.

“A clean break below $100,000 or above $110,000 would likely rekindle broader market interest, but we do not currently see any obvious near-term catalysts to drive such a move,” QCP stated.
