What method of tracking volatility are you looking at because all the ones I've tried on http://bitcoincharts.com/ at the all data length show an increase in volatility.

(Tried Chaikin Volatility, Donchian Channel, ATR, and Bollinger Band)

Chaikin Volatility goes down imho. I do not really know what the others mean. Are they adjusted for volume?

I don't think it actually goes down. Look at Jan 12 to Jan 13. Then look at Jan 13 to Jan 14. There is definitely a lot more volatility during the second period.

The others largely measure average price spread using slightly different means from each other.
