Bitcoin is calmer overall, but shock moves still spike more often

No clear lean
Mixed signal: lower average volatility, but more frequent extreme swings
What happened

On average, Bitcoin's day-to-day price swings have gotten smaller compared to a few years ago, making it feel more stable. But sudden, extreme jumps or crashes still happen more frequently than they did back in 2018, even though the 'normal' volatility is lower.

Why it matters

If you hold Bitcoin, this means quiet stretches can still be interrupted by sharp, fast moves, so the calm isn't a guarantee of safety.

Should I do anything?

No action needed here, this is just a market behavior observation, not a warning about your holdings or an emergency.
