Definition

The MOVE Index calculates the future volatility in U.S. Treasury yields.
The VIX measures the expected volatility of the US stock market.
The 30-day Bitcoin Volatility Index is referred to as the BVOL Index.

Quick Take

The MOVE index has moved to its highest since 2009.
While the VIX hit 30 during yesterday’s trading session, which was a YTD high.
BVOL index also surged to highs last seen since May 2022 during the Luna collapse.
The federal reserve has raised rates at the fastest pace ever while the money supply contracts and is negative YOY.
These moves in the money supply will only increase volatility in both traditional and crypto markets.
