Score · wrong
Incorrect. BTC volatility did not significantly increase. While BTC was up 1.9% in 24 hours, which is moderate, it is not a large enough move to characterize as a significant increase in volatility. The increase is within a normal trading range and does not demonstrate increased volatility.

Lesson
The prediction was wrong because it assumed regulatory activity and political commentary would automatically translate into increased volatility. The narrative excerpt 'Increased regulatory activity and debate surrounding crypto (SEC easing margin requirements, Trump opposing state AI reg...' shows a focus on potential catalysts without considering the market's existing risk appetite or positioning.
