February proved to be a relatively calm month for Bitcoin prices, with one specific volatility metric dropping to its lowest level in several months as the digital currency traded within a well-defined range.
The 30-day volatility of the cryptocurrency, as calculated from data across various exchanges, fell to 30.98% on February 23, based on statistics gathered by asset manager Blockforce Capital.
This decrease marks the lowest point for the volatility measure since June 29, 2024, as further data from Blockforce Capital indicates.
At 30.98%, this figure is less than half of the 61.25% average volatility that the digital asset has recorded since 2013.
The leading cryptocurrency achieved these notably low volatility levels during a month characterized by price movements primarily between $90,000 and $100,000, according to TradingView data from Coinbase.
Bitcoin maintained this relatively stable range after reaching multiple all-time highs exceeding $108,000 in both December and January, as additional TradingView data from Coinbase reports.
This series of peaks aligns with Bitcoin’s historical pattern of extreme volatility. The world’s leading digital currency has undergone some remarkable bull runs followed by sharp downturns.
A notable instance occurred during the 2017 bull run, when Bitcoin surged towards $20,000 amid significant public interest.
Once the price became untenable, it plummeted, leading the digital currency into a protracted period known as the Crypto Winter.
During the global pandemic, the cryptocurrency began to rise again, approaching $70,000, only to face another crash when the price proved unsustainable.
After remaining at substantially lower values for a few years, Bitcoin soared once more in 2024 and 2025, achieving new all-time highs.
