Volatility Understanding Price Fluctuations

Volatility measures how much an asset's price fluctuates over time. Higher volatility means larger price swings (both up and down), indicating higher risk but also potential for higher returns. Lower volatility suggests more stable, predictable price movements.

  • Annualized Volatility: Daily volatility scaled to yearly basis - useful for comparing different time periods
  • Calm Days (σ): Days with price movements less than 1 standard deviation - these are "normal" trading days
  • Volatile Days (σ): Days exceeding 1 standard deviation - larger than usual price movements
  • Extreme Moves (σ): Days exceeding 2 standard deviations - very unusual, significant price swings
  • Volatility Trend: Whether price swings are increasing or decreasing over the period
