Volatility refers to the degree of price fluctuation a cryptocurrency experiences over a given period of time. Highly volatile assets can see rapid and significant price increases or decreases within short timeframes. Crypto volatility is influenced by factors such as market liquidity, trading volume, news events, and investor behavior. Because many crypto markets operate continuously, price movements can occur at any time. Volatility affects trading strategies, risk management, and market participation. It can impact both potential gains and potential losses.
