Why Compare Crypto Volatility?

Cryptocurrency markets are not a monolith. While Bitcoin might be moving 2%, a specific altcoin could be moving 20%. Comparing volatility allows traders to:

  • Identify Opportunities: High volatility often precedes large price trends.
  • Manage Risk: Adjust position sizes based on the asset's expected daily range.
  • Sector Analysis: See which narratives (L1, L2, Meme) are attracting the most action.
  • Optimize Entry: Wait for volatility to compress before a breakout.
