What is volatility?

Simply put, volatility is the up-and-down “jumps” of an asset; it is a measure of how much the price of a cryptocurrency changes in a short period of time.

In cryptocurrencies, volatility is particularly high, which means sudden and frequent price changes. This can be both an opportunity for high profits and a risk of loss.

It is important to always take this factor into account; however, you’ve probably already realized that =)
