As a financial practitioner, I'm curious to understand how bitcoin volatility is calculated. Could you please elaborate on the key metrics and methodologies used? Does it involve measuring price changes over specific timeframes? What are the commonly referenced indicators or indexes? Is historical data taken into account? Additionally, how does bitcoin volatility compare to other traditional financial assets? Understanding these aspects would help me gain a deeper insight into the dynamics of the cryptocurrency market.

To measure volatility, we observe how Bitcoin's price deviates from a fixed reference point. For our purposes, this point is Bitcoin's opening price on a given day.

Specifically, Bitcoin's daily volatility is calculated using the standard deviation of its price movements. The standard deviation provides a mathematical representation of the spread or dispersion of prices around the mean.

The calculation of the standard deviation involves summing the squared differences between each price point and the mean price, dividing by the number of price points minus one, and then taking the square root of the result.
