Bitcoin’s overall volatility has declined in 2026, but the cryptocurrency has recorded more unusually large daily moves through Oct. 9 than it did during all of the 2018 bear market, highlighting limits in risk models based on recent conditions. Bitcoin (BTC) posted 10 daily moves of at least three standard deviations through Oct. 9, compared with eight during all of 2018. The 2026 figure covers only part of the year, while the comparison figure covers the full year. A three-sigma move is a daily price change at least three times Bitcoin’s preceding 30-day realized volatility.
