<p>While Bitcoin has been surging, the market has not been immune to the effects of fake news and breaking developments, contributing to frequent and sharp volatility.</p>
<p>&nbsp;Greek. live traders have advised market participants to consider “LONG GAMMA” strategies as they are expected to be cost-effective during this week’s developments.</p>
<p>A previous tweet by Greek. live highlights the impact of fake news from the SEC on Bitcoin markets.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A fake <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/secs-crypto-x-account-remains-silent/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin ETF</a> approval tweet from the SEC created significant uncertainty in the market, leading to dramatic price fluctuations.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The data analysis reveals that while sharp volatility increased realized volatility (RV), implied volatility (IV) experienced a slight decrease.</p>
<p>The fake news surrounding the SEC’s stance on Bitcoin ETF approval generated a rollercoaster ride in the short-term dynamics of Bitcoin. Investors responded by reducing leverage, trimming positions, and engaging in early sell-offs as they attempted to navigate the uncertainty caused by SEC-related news fluctuations.</p>
