How to read the Bitcoin Realized Volatility Chart
This chart plots Bitcoin’s annualized 30-day and 90-day realized volatility from daily log returns, separating calm compression, trend expansion and shock regimes. It helps with position sizing and comparing current risk with history.
How to read the result
- 30-day volatility well above 90-day often marks a new shock or an accelerating trend.
- 30-day volatility well below 90-day signals compression, which has often preceded larger moves in either direction.
- Volatility measures size of moves, not direction.
Limits and cautions
- Realized volatility looks backward and does not predict future volatility or direction.
- It annualizes over 365 days for a 24/7 market, so figures differ from sources that use 252.
- Single-exchange closes can differ slightly from index prices.
