Bitcoin keeps traders up at night—literally

Retail Bitcoin traders are discovering that crypto volatility doesn’t just affect their portfolios—it’s wreaking havoc on their sleep schedules.

Summary
  • 68% of retail Bitcoin traders check prices in bed nearly every night, with 81% losing sleep waiting for market moves or favorable trading conditions.
  • Nearly 60% cite Fear of Missing Out as the main driver of sleepless nights, while 70% admit tiredness leads to poor trading decisions.
  • Market swings peak between 18:00 and 06:00 UTC, overlapping with prime sleep hours in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

According to a new survey from exchange CEX.io, “HODL” now doubles as a bedtime mantra. Up to 68% of respondents checking prices after crawling into bed nearly every night.

Only 8% reported never doing so, proving that deep sleep may be overrated in the age of digital gold.

The survey found that nearly 70% of traders blame sleep deprivation for execution errors and questionable trades, while more than half reported staying up until at least 2 a.m. to track market movements. A daring 33% admit to sleepless nights stretching past 4 a.m.—a true test of human endurance fueled by FOMO rather than fear of liquidation.

During bull markets, 64% enjoy better sleep, but in a bear market, only 10% can manage a wink, suggesting that Bitcoin-induced (BTC) nightmares may be a feature, not a bug.

CEX.io also notes that market volatility tends to spike overnight, when U.S. liquidity providers log off and smaller trades trigger larger price swings.

Trend not US exclusive

For traders in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, this nocturnal chaos coincides with prime sleep hours, forcing a cruel trade-off between rest and risk management.

Bitcoin recently staged a rebound after a sharp drawdown, but for many traders, the real recovery will come only after a full night of uninterrupted sleep—whenever that happens.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
