BTC's latest bull market looks sturdier than previous ones. 

What to know:

Bitcoin's latest bull market, starting in early 2023, shows lower volatility compared to previous cycles, with realized volatility averaging less than 50%.

Exchanges have reduced leverage limits, contributing to a more stable rally with fewer and shallower drawdowns compared to past bull runs.

However, the latest bull market, which kicked off in early 2023, feels different in a positive way, exhibiting relatively low volatility and drawdowns.
