Tuesdays Lead Bitcoin’s Volatility Charts in 2025, Data Shows
Bitcoin traders have come to expect significant price swings on Tuesdays, as market data reveals that this day has been the most volatile in 2025 so far.
According to Amberdata, Tuesdays have consistently shown the highest levels of realized volatility, averaging 82 over the past month. This metric tracks historical price fluctuations by measuring the standard deviation of returns, distinguishing it from implied volatility, which reflects market expectations for future movements.
The data also indicates that March has been the most turbulent month since early 2024, with realized volatility averaging 67.
Bitcoin’s recent 30% pullback from its all-time high pushed its one-month annualized daily realized volatility near 70, significantly exceeding the long-term average of 50. Similar volatility surges were last observed in March 2024—following bitcoin’s peak at $73,000—and in August 2024 during the yen carry trade unwind, according to Glassnode.
As macroeconomic uncertainties persist, traders are closely monitoring bitcoin’s price patterns, especially on Tuesdays, when volatility has repeatedly spiked throughout the year.
