Bitcoin fell more than USD 2000 in one day: why is it so volatile?

by rcanessa

The cryptocurrency can only become an accepted form of payment if its volatility stabilizes, but that depends on a constant conviction that it represents the future of the money

The volatility of Bitcoin frightens many potential users of the cryptocurrency. This is due to the close relationship between volatility and risk: the higher the level of volatility, the greater the risk associated with the asset. In the same way, however, risk can be a source of attraction: the more volatile the price of an investment, the higher the yield – or loss – that can be obtained from it. These general rules also apply to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is considerably volatile compared to other assets, but much less volatile than it was before. Over time, fluctuations in the price of the main cryptocurrency have been decreasing in percentage terms. On average, the daily volatility rate (how much the price changes per day) has been mostly below 5% since 2015, compared to an average volatility of 1.2% for gold. In 2016, Bitcoin was less volatile than Twitter shares, and just as volatile as oil.

However, Bitcoin continues to register violent price oscillations. On Wednesday, the cryptocurrency fell USD 2,041 from a daily maximum (and annual peak) of USD 13,880 to USD 11,200, the biggest daily price movement since January 2018.
