Definition

A prediction of what volatility may be like in the future. The volatility of a share's price is determined by the degree to which it departs from its average. Obviously a straight line is the easiest chart to predict and the degree to which a share's price chart departs from this determines how volatile it is. Thus, from a technical perspective, volatility, predictability and risk are synonymous.
