Standard deviation is the most common measurement of price fluctuations as it measures the variability or dispersion of a set of data from its mean. It indicates how much the prices deviate or differ from the average price. Variance is closely related to standard deviation and measures how spread out the data is, but it is not as commonly used as standard deviation in financial analysis. Mean and correlation are also important measures in finance, but they do not provide information about the variability or fluctuations of prices.
