1) #Bitcoin Beta Measurement to Determine the Volatility.
You need to understand the volatility of the particular asset you invest/trade.
This volatility is also called the beta.
Beta is a quantitative measure of the volatility of a given asset relative to the overall market.
2) Beta specifically measures the performance movement of asset as Index moves 1 percent up or down. A beta measurement above 1 is more volatile than the overall market, whereas a beta below 1 is less volatile.
3) Because beta measures how volatile or unstable the asset’s price is, it tends to be uttered in the same breath as “risk” — more volatility indicates more risk. Similarly, less volatility tends to mean less risk.
4) The beta is useful to know when it comes to stop-loss orders because it gives you a general idea of the asset’s trading range. If your asset is a volatile growth asset that may swing up and down by 10%, you can set your stop-loss at 15 percent below that day’s price.
6) - We can consider 3 types of tokens:
- Token 1 with a Beta value of 1
- Token 2 with a Beta value of 0.5
- Token 3 with a Beta value of 1.5
7) - Token 1, which has a Beta value of 1, will show the exact same movement paired to that of the market. It reflects 100% of the market's movement
- Token 2, on the other hand, reflects only half of the market's movement, with a Beta value of 0.5 Thus, it moves up by 5%
8) - Token 3, moves up by 15% as it has a beta value of 1.5, moves up more drastically than the market value, indicating that the token is more volatile.
9) Beta Value Equal to 1
Token shows a strongly correlated movement with the market movement.

Beta Value More Than 1
A beta that is greater than 1.0 indicates that the token's price is theoretically more volatile than the market.
10) Negative Beta Value
A token with a negative Beta value means that the token is inversely correlated to the market benchmark.
11) Limitations of Beta
- A token with a very low beta could have smaller price swings, yet it could still be in a long-term downtrend. So from a practical perspective, a low beta token that's experiencing a downtrend isn’t likely to improve a portfolio’s performance.
