The degree of price variation over time. Crypto is more volatile than equities, FX, and most commodities. Bitcoin’s annualised volatility is roughly 50–70% in recent cycles, versus ~15% for the S&P 500. Higher volatility implies wider distributions of possible outcomes — both up and down. The TheWeal model uses horizon-scaled volatility multipliers; see methodology.
