Realized Volatility

The annualized standard deviation of BTC's own daily returns over a trailing 30-day window.

42.0685 % · 25th percentile

Low relative to its own historical distribution - distinct from Deribit's DVOL (Flows page), which prices the options market's forward-looking expectation rather than what has already happened.

Standard deviation of daily returns, annualized. A high realized-volatility regime doesn't predict direction, only that recent price swings have been unusually large or small relative to history.

No data yet.

The typical size of a daily price bar, accounting for gaps between bars (not just that day's own high-low range) - a volatility measure in price units, not percentage.

Computed on demand from BTC's own OHLC data - no stored daily series, so there's no history chart here, same as this page's own realized-volatility value above.

Not a core classifier input - shown alongside the Read's leverage module for context.
