Volatility Tracker
How much has this coin's price been swinging around recently?
What is annualized volatility?
This tool calculates the standard deviation of daily price returns over your chosen period, then scales it to a yearly figure so different coins and periods can be compared on the same basis. Higher numbers mean bigger, more frequent price swings; lower numbers mean calmer, steadier price action.
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as "high" volatility for crypto?
Annualized volatility above roughly 60 to 80 percent is common for many altcoins, while major coins like Bitcoin often run somewhat lower. Compare across a few coins here to see the relative difference.
Does high volatility mean a coin is risky?
It means the price moves more sharply in both directions, which increases both potential upside and potential downside. It is one useful risk signal among several, not a complete risk assessment on its own.
How is this calculated?
It uses the standard deviation of daily logarithmic returns over your chosen period, scaled to an annual figure using the square root of time.
