It measures the exchange rate stability between paired assets in a lending market, including volatility, correlation, and expected price evolution. The Price Fluctuation criterion is different from price volatility, as it reflects the exchange rate between the two assets of a market. It includes price volatility but also the correlation between the loan asset and the collateral asset in a money market, as well as their expected price evolution. For a stablecoin, it describes how its reserve assets are correlated with the represented value of the token. The [LLTV](/docs/risk-management/collateral/layers-pillars-and-criteria/market-rating-layer-3/lltv.md) parameter, described in the next section, mitigates Price Fluctuation risk and improves its rating. {% hint style="info" %} Indicators: * Assets are pegged or interchangeable * Strong correlation between assets, reserve assets or loan assets * Substantial probability of economic risk loss due to high-amplitude movement in exchange rate (native crypto asset vs dollar) {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
