Bitcoin’s Most Volatile Trading Day in 2025? Tuesdays Take the Lead
Market participants are bracing for heightened volatility, driven by global economic trends.
If history is any guide, Tuesdays could spell major price swings for bitcoin traders.
According to data from Amberdata, Tuesdays have been the most volatile trading day of the week so far in 2025, particularly in the past month, where realized volatility has averaged 82.
Realized volatility tracks the standard deviation of past price movements, while implied volatility reflects market expectations for future fluctuations.
Amberdata’s analysis also found that since early 2024, March has been the most volatile month, with an average realized volatility of 67.
Bitcoin’s recent 30% drop from its all-time high has pushed its one-month annualized daily realized volatility to nearly 70—well above the long-term average of around 50. Historically, similar volatility surges have only occurred twice in the past year: in March 2024, following bitcoin’s then-record high of $73,000, and in August 2024, during the yen carry trade unwind, according to data from Glassnode.
