How did it drop 10% when it's up 0.41% today?

I don't get it either

Depends on the time window you look, if the shorter time windows and volatilities get you exited, you are an idiot and should not invest in anything.

BTC has an upward trend over the last 10 years. That's what people should look at IMHO.

Volatility can be measured. There is no way to say BTC is not volatile. Historic charts also will not help predicting the future.

Sure, I was just confused by the time period of which there was a 10% drop in BTC price - it's now up 0.87% today, down 5.54% over the past 5 days, up 1.24% over the past month, and up 37% over the past 6 months, none of those are down 10%.

BTC is also up for the year by quite a bit.

I'm very confused here as well.
