Bitcoin's fear index, BVIV, surged nearly 20% on June 2, marking its largest single-day increase since February 5. This spike reflects a return of market fear following two months of steady sentiment, triggered by Bitcoin's price dropping over 6% to around $66,000. The BVIV measures expected volatility and acts like Bitcoin's version of the VIX index on Wall Street, rising when traders buy options to hedge against further price declines. While the jump is significant, it is not as extreme as the February crash, but it signals that traders are becoming more cautious. It remains uncertain if this marks a short-term reaction or the start of sustained higher volatility in the Bitcoin market.
