In 2026, Bitcoin has experienced 10 unusually large daily price moves of at least three standard deviations through October 9, surpassing the eight such moves recorded during the entire 2018 bear market. This is notable because overall annualized volatility in 2026 is about 46%, nearly half of the 84% seen in 2018. The pattern shows smaller average price swings but more frequent extreme moves, challenging risk models that rely on recent volatility to predict losses. New products like Hyperliquid's Bitcoin implied-volatility index contract offer traders more tools to manage and speculate on these price swings.
