Method and limits

  • Prices are the European Central Bank's euro reference rates, one fixing a business day around 14:10 CET. Crosses are derived through the euro. Volatility estimates and regimes are calculated by FXPM Labs.
  • Realized volatility is the root mean square of daily log returns over 20 fixings, annualized with 252 trading days. The typical daily move is the same figure before annualizing.
  • The regime compares today's 20-day figure with the past three years: below the 25th percentile is low, above the 75th is high and above the 95th is extreme.
  • One fixing a day measures close-to-close moves. Intraday ranges are wider, and fixing-to-fixing data misses moves that reverse within the day.
  • Volatility describes how much a price moves, not which way. Nothing here is a trading recommendation.
