What is vol at?

Volatility (vol) refers to the degree of fluctuation or variation in the price of a financial asset over time. It is a statistical measure of the dispersion or variability of returns for a particular security or market index. Volatility is often used as an indicator of risk, as higher levels of volatility indicate higher potential for price movements, both up and down, during a particular period. There are different types of volatility, including historical volatility (based on past price movements) and implied volatility (based on market expectations of future price movements). Traders and investors use volatility measures to make investment decisions, manage risk, hedge positions, and evaluate trading strategies.
