Volatility
Definition
Volatility refers to rapid and uncertain changes in prices in the cryptocurrency market, which presents great opportunities and risks for investors.
Volatility is the degree to which the price of a financial asset fluctuates or changes over a specific period of time. High volatility means prices change quickly and widely, while low volatility indicates a more stable and lower-risk market environment. Volatility is an important metric in determining risks and opportunities for investors and is often calculated as standard deviation or percentage change of price movements.
