Volatility

What it means

Volatility describes how much price is moving, not whether it is moving up or down.

What to watch

Volatility changes by market, session, and regime. Tools that depend on range should be tested across those shifts.

Where traders usually run into this

Volatility matters most when it starts affecting an actual chart read, indicator setting, or workflow choice rather than staying as an abstract definition.
