Where has the volatility gone?

[stockeroo]

All major pairs and most other pairs have greatly diminished in volatility over the past 1+ year compared to before.

Why?

Will volatility return (if so, when)?

No idea but if a person knew the possibilities of returns would be sky high and near endless since volatility prediction can very well be traded.

We've seen periods of volatility in 1999 when prices were sky-high and when price were very low in 2009. This happened during a bubble and during a bust. So, I believe high volatility is usually associated with either very expensive or very cheap prices.
