ATR (Average True Range) measures how much price typically moves — PEPS shows ATR as a percent of price so you can compare volatility across coins.
ATR Volatility scans 25 Binance USDT pairs on 1H, 4H and 1D, ranks ATR% regimes (squeeze → extreme), and charts price with ATR% on a secondary scale.
What is ATR?
True Range is the greatest of high−low, |high−prev close| and |low−prev close|. ATR(14) is Wilder’s smoothed average of True Range.
ATR% = ATR / close × 100. A 3% ATR% means a typical bar swing is about 3% of price.
Percentile ranks today’s ATR% vs the lookback window. Expanding/contracting comes from the recent ATR% slope.
How to read the PEPS ATR tool
Candles are on the right price scale; the yellow line is ATR% on the left scale.
High percentile / positive z-score = elevated volatility versus recent history.
Expanding ATR favours breakouts and trend trades; contracting ATR favours ranges and mean reversion.
Strength ranks how clear the regime is (extremes and strong slopes score higher).
Using ATR Volatility on PEPS Crypto
Pick a timeframe tab (1H, 4H, 1D). Higher timeframes give more structural ATR regimes.
Filter by bias or regime, then click a row to see candles + ATR%.
Strength (0–100) ranks extremes and slope clarity.

How it works
- Data refreshes about every 10 minutes from Binance spot OHLCV (~200 candles per scan).
- ATR(14) uses Wilder smoothing; percentile is vs the scanned window; slope uses the last ~10 bars of ATR%.
- The action guide under the chart suggests practical next steps based on the regime bias.
- Search by symbol or filter regimes from the dropdown.
- Times in the table follow your GMT selector in the site header.
What to consider
- ATR regimes are heuristics — not financial advice. Fees, slippage and news are not modelled.
- BULLISH/BEARISH tags describe volatility regime (expanding vs contracting), not guaranteed price direction.
- Futures ATR can differ from spot data used here.
- Low-cap pairs outside the 25-symbol universe are not scanned.
- Practice sizing stops with ATR% on higher timeframes before live risk.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a good ATR% for crypto?
- It depends on the coin and timeframe. Compare percentile within the coin’s own history — 90th percentile is “hot” for that pair even if absolute ATR% looks modest on BTC.
- Should I trade breakouts in a squeeze?
- Squeezes often precede big moves, but false breaks are common. Wait for ATR% to expand with volume and higher-timeframe confirmation.
- Is this tool suitable for beginners?
- Yes. Start on 4H/1D, learn to separate volatility regime from direction, and use ATR for stop distance before sizing live.
Conclusion
ATR Volatility turns True Range into comparable regimes: squeeze, normal, expanding and extreme.
Use the regime to choose strategy and size — then confirm direction with trend and levels tools.
