Bitcoin's Volatility Plummets to 8-Month Low

Bitcoin's volatility measure reached a nearly 8-month low in February, according to data compiled by asset manager Blockforce Capital. The cryptocurrency's 30-day volatility, calculated using data from multiple exchanges, declined to 30.98% on February 23, its lowest level since June 29, 2024. This figure is less than half of the 61.25% average volatility that Bitcoin has experienced since 2013.

Bitcoin's relatively low volatility in February can be attributed to its price trading within a defined range. According to Coinbase figures from TradingView, the world's most prominent cryptocurrency fluctuated largely between $90,000 and $100,000 during the month. This range is significantly lower than the all-time highs of more than $108,000 that Bitcoin reached in December and January.

Bitcoin's history of intense volatility is well-documented. The cryptocurrency has experienced several bull runs followed by sharp declines. In 2017, for example, Bitcoin climbed toward $20,000 before crashing and entering a period of low prices known as the Crypto Winter. Similarly, during the global pandemic, Bitcoin's price approached $70,000 before crashing once again. However, the cryptocurrency has since recovered and reached fresh, all-time highs in 2024 and 2025.
