Understanding Volatility and Its Measurement
Volatility in the market is a crucial factor in determining risk and potential return. It is primarily measured through the annual percentage price movement of an asset, with high-risk assets like cryptocurrencies exhibiting extreme volatility, while safer investments like money market funds show minimal movement. Predictably, assets with higher volatility can also experience more significant price drops, making it essential for investors to balance their portfolios for better risk-adjusted returns. Traders often utilize a rule of thumb known as the 'rule of 16' to estimate daily volatility based on annual figures, allowing them to interpret market movements effectively.
