Zcash volatility FAQ
How is Zcash volatility calculated?
Realised volatility is the sample standard deviation of daily log returns, ln(close / previous close), over the last 30, 60 or 90 completed UTC days, multiplied by the square root of 365 to annualise it (crypto trades every day). Prices are daily candles of the ZECUSDT market on Binance spot.
What does the percentile mean?
It is the share of this coin's own 30-day volatility readings since listing that were at or below today's. A high percentile means the coin is more volatile than usual for itself; it does not compare coins with each other (see the volatility screener).
What is the difference between realised and implied volatility?
Realised volatility looks back at how much the price moved. Implied volatility is what options price in for the future.
