XCN volatility expands 7.1x in 14 days — driven by an 83% intraday spike on Apr 27 that has since fully reversed
- Onyxcoin (XCN) recorded the largest volatility expansion of any asset in the dataset over the past 14 days: 7.1 times its prior 14-day baseline, measured by daily standard deviation of returns.
- The trigger was an Apr 27 intraday move from $0.00473 to a high of $0.00866 — an 83% intraday swing — before closing at $0.00614; by May 9 the price had settled back to $0.00529.
- The spike has now largely reversed, but the elevated volatility reading (8.6% daily standard deviation vs 1.2% prior) flags XCN as the most statistically unsettled asset in the current dataset.
