Score · right
Correct direction - BTC up 1.7% but the magnitude wasn't extreme so volatility wasn't *significantly* higher.

Lesson
The prediction of increased BTC volatility was directionally correct, as the price increased, but the magnitude of the volatility was not significantly higher; news events, even those generating hype, don't *guarantee* volatility, but they can be a contributing factor, especially if the news directly impacts the perceived value of the asset; however, not all hype is realized volatility.
