Bitcoin’s Volatility Calendar: What Dates Matter, and What Are Myths

As bitcoin traders brace for one scheduled event after another, the data suggests there is less to worry about unless you trade one-minute BTC charts. Volatility spikes right after an announcement, lasts about an hour in most cases, and then subsides, with the price usually hovering near where it started. Bitcoin.com News analyzed almost nine years of data, from January 2018 to October 2026.
