On what time scale? Currencies fluctuate 10% all the time over a year.

BitCoin has fluctuated much more than 10% in the last year though: https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=XBT&to=USD&view=1Y

Certainly much more than USD/EUR: https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=EUR&to=USD&view=1Y

10% is an underestimate. BTC fluctuates by 50% or more.
