Volatility
Volatility measures how much and how quickly a price moves. High volatility means large, fast swings; low volatility means calmer, narrower movement.
Volatility is a measure of how much a price moves over a given period. A highly volatile market swings widely and quickly; a low-volatility market drifts in a narrow range. Volatility says nothing about direction on its own. A market can be volatile while rising, falling, or going nowhere.
It matters because it shapes risk and behaviour. High volatility means larger potential gains and larger potential losses in the same amount of time, and it tends to punish late, emotional entries. Low volatility often reflects calm or indecision, and sometimes precedes a larger move once the market picks a direction.
Crypto Wealth describes volatility in direction and magnitude rather than chasing it. When volatility narrows after a sharp move, for example, that calm can mean the market is digesting rather than reversing. Reading volatility in context helps separate a meaningful change from ordinary noise.
