Volatility measures how much and how quickly an asset’s price fluctuates over a given period. High volatility means large, rapid price swings — more opportunity but also more risk. Low volatility means smaller, steadier movements. Volatility is influenced by economic data releases, geopolitical events, market session overlaps, and overall market sentiment.
During a US Non-Farm Payrolls release, EUR/USD may move 80–100 pips within minutes — that is a high-volatility event. On a quiet Monday with no major news, the same pair may move only 30 pips in the entire London session.
