Volaris

Volaris is a cryptocurrency volatility intelligence platform designed to provide a normalized, interpretable, and comparable volatility index across digital assets.

Instead of focusing on simple price changes, Volaris measures statistical volatility — the magnitude and frequency of price fluctuations — and maps it onto a consistent 0–100 index.

What the Volatility Index Represents

The Volaris Volatility Index answers one core question:

“How unstable is this asset relative to typical crypto behavior?”

Higher values indicate larger and more frequent swings in price. Lower values indicate tighter, more stable trading behavior.

Index Interpretation (0–100)

Index Range Regime Description
0 – 20 Calm Low volatility, tight ranges, often consolidation phases
20 – 40 Active Normal crypto volatility, balanced risk and opportunity
40 – 60 Volatile Large swings, elevated trading risk
60 – 80 Chaotic Extreme instability, rapid reversals and liquidation risk
80 – 100 Extreme Exceptional events, panic or euphoric market conditions

How the Index Is Calculated

1. Logarithmic Returns

rₜ = ln(Pₜ / Pₜ₋₁)

2. Realized Volatility

σᴿ = √(mean(rₜ²))

3. Parkinson (High–Low) Volatility

σᴾ = √((1 / (4 ln 2)) · mean(ln(H / L)²))

4. Blended Volatility

σᶜ = 0.6 · σᴿ + 0.4 · σᴾ

5. Annualization

√(365 × periodsPerDay)

6. Index Mapping

Index = 100 × (1 − e^(−σᶜ / K))

Current Volatility Index vs All-Time Volatility Index

Volaris provides two complementary volatility measures:

Current Volatility Index

The current volatility index reflects how unstable an asset is right now, based on recent price behavior over a short-to-medium horizon.

All-Time Volatility Index

The all-time volatility index measures how extreme the asset’s volatility has been across its observable history.

An asset may therefore appear calm today but still have an extremely high all-time volatility index — or be highly volatile now despite usually trading in tighter ranges.

Together, the two indices distinguish temporary turbulence from structural instability.
