Historical context

252 sessions

Volatility53.9%
64th percentile of the last 232 readings — above typical. Annualised from the last twenty sessions, then ranked against the same calculation on every twenty-session window of the past year.
Latest session-8.86%
97th percentile of the last 251 readings — unusually high. Ranked on size and not direction, so an unusually large fall reads as unusual rather than as a low return.
Five sessions-6.47%
13th percentile of the last 247 readings — low. Ranked among every five-session change of the past year, direction included.
Twenty sessions+8.31%
67th percentile of the last 232 readings — above typical. Ranked among every twenty-session change of the past year, direction included.

A percentile is the share of the past year’s readings at or below the current one. The multi-session rows keep direction, so a high rank there means a strong rise; volatility and the latest session are ranked on size alone, so a high rank means a large move either way. All of it describes how ordinary today is by this instrument’s own standards, which is a statement about the record and not about what happens next.

What these figures mean

Written by gpt-5.4-mini

The trailing-year return of 39.2% means the price ended the period higher than it started, but the path was uneven. An annualised volatility of 55.2% means the price has typically moved a lot over the year, and the largest peak-to-trough fall of -39.5% means that at one point it dropped by 39.5% from a previous high before recovering. With a period high of 118.35 and a period low of 58.92, the current price being 63% of the way from the low to the high places it closer to the high than the low, though still below the high.
