Volatility

Volatility is the degree to which the price of a crypto coin or other asset moves relative to the average price within a certain period of time. The more volatile the price of a crypto currency is, the more the price moves. Many investors track the volatility of a crypto coin to identify and take advantage of trading opportunities. However, excessive and unpredictable price volatility often puts off investors with a lower risk tolerance.
