Historical context

252 sessions

Volatility47.3%
54th percentile of the last 232 readings — typical. Annualised from the last twenty sessions, then ranked against the same calculation on every twenty-session window of the past year.
Latest session-2.27%
60th percentile of the last 251 readings — above typical. Ranked on size and not direction, so an unusually large fall reads as unusual rather than as a low return.
Five sessions-7.82%
10th percentile of the last 247 readings — low. Ranked among every five-session change of the past year, direction included.
Twenty sessions+10.69%
73rd 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

Over the trailing year, the price rose by 41.7%, but the path was uneven: annualised volatility of 55.3% means the price has tended to move by a very large amount over a year, rather than staying close to one level. The largest peak-to-trough fall of -39.3% means that, at one point in the period, the price dropped by 39.3% from a previous high before later recovering. With a period high of 112.95 and a period low of 55.27, the current price being 64% of the way from the low to the high means it is closer to the high than the low.
