Why Bitcoin Volatility May Return After the Weekend

[etfs]

While Bitcoin remained stable over the weekend, analysts warn that volatility could increase once traditional markets reopen. Institutional investors typically do not trade during weekends, meaning reactions from large players may still be ahead as markets digest the escalation announced by Donald Trump, which resulted in the capture of Nicolás Maduro.

Crypto trader Lennaert Snyder noted that heightened geopolitical tension combined with institutional re-entry could amplify price swings early in the week. If selling pressure resumes, it could test Bitcoin’s recent recovery—but continued resilience may further strengthen the narrative of BTC as a macro-hardened asset.
