According to a LongHash report, UTC 1 am has been the most volatile hour for Bitcoin price. The report took a look over the past two years data, from July 6, 2017 to July 2, 2019 and confirmed that 1 am has seen more daily highs and more daily lows than any other hour of the day and experienced the wildest swing in price.
We are unsure if these price swings could also have a potential impact on the price of altcoins during the same hour.
The current volatility in Bitcoin price remains high as bulls and bears continue to battle the market.
