Bitcoin Volatility Drops Below Levels of the Magnificent Seven Stocks

Bitcoin's market volatility has seen a notable reduction, now standing at approximately half of the levels recorded five years ago, according to insights from Charles Schwab. In 2025, Bitcoin's historical volatility (HV) is measured at 42%, a sharp decline from around 80% in 2021.

Similarly, the average true range of Bitcoin's price has declined from 6.8% to 3.4% during the same timeframe. Notably, Bitcoin's HV is currently lower than that of several stocks within the Magnificent Seven, including Nvidia at 50% and Tesla at 63%. Comparatively, silver futures hover around 38% volatility.

Over the past three years, Bitcoin has experienced a maximum drawdown of 50%, which is slightly less severe than Tesla's 54% and Nvidia's 37%. However, the landscape shifts when viewed over a five-year perspective, where Bitcoin's worst hit was a dramatic 77% plunge during the 2022 bear market, outpacing the declines of Tesla and Nvidia, which fell by 74% and 66%, respectively.

As Bitcoin navigates through volatility, it has recently stabilized, despite still being susceptible to sudden price swings. Meanwhile, Ethereum has maintained higher volatility and deeper price corrections.

Charles Schwab highlights that Bitcoin's evolution indicates its growing integration into traditional financial markets. Additionally, the pseudonymous analyst Darkfost has reported significant capital outflows from cryptocurrency exchanges, suggesting a transition among investors toward a buying phase.
