CHV (Chaikin Volatility)

What is CHV?

Chaikin Volatility measures the rate of change of the EMA of the high-low range. Positive values mean volatility is expanding; negative values mean it is contracting.

Parameters (10/10)

• X-Axis: Time (candle intervals)
• Y-Axis: CHV (% change)
• Line: CHV (10/10)
• Zero line: No change in volatility

Interpretation

• Above zero = volatility expanding
• Below zero = volatility contracting
• Sharp rise often precedes breakouts
• Data refreshes periodically — not real-time

Trading Signals

• Rising CHV often precedes breakouts
• Falling CHV suggests consolidation
• Extreme values may signal reversals

Price Overlay

• Close Price: Daily closing price (right Y-axis)
• CHV rising + price breaking out = volatility expansion confirms move
• CHV falling + price stable = volatility compression, breakout imminent
• CHV spike diverging from price = false breakout risk
