Bitcoin\u2019s lackluster price action reached a pivotal point throughout July. As the range where it was trading was narrowing over time, BTC\u2019s price reached the lowest levels of volatility ever recorded in its 11-year history, according<\/a> to Arcane Research.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWith only 11 days left of July, we\u2019re currently seeing the tightest monthly price range in Bitcoin\u2019s history!

Its price appreciated by 2.90% to hit an intraday high of $9,440.
