Historical context

254 sessions

Volatility12.8%
31st percentile of the last 234 readings — below typical. Annualised from the last twenty sessions, then ranked against the same calculation on every twenty-session window of the past year.
Latest session+0.56%
45th percentile of the last 253 readings — typical. Ranked on size and not direction, so an unusually large fall reads as unusual rather than as a low return.
Five sessions+0.41%
53rd percentile of the last 249 readings — typical. Ranked among every five-session change of the past year, direction included.
Twenty sessions-4.37%
9th percentile of the last 234 readings — low. 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.

Reported context

Written by sonar-pro

Recent reports say the DAX has fallen to around 25,267–25,256, its lowest level since July, with losses reported across several European markets. Reports attribute the pressure to higher oil prices linked to the Middle East conflict and stalled US–Iran negotiations, alongside elevated eurozone government bond yields. Technology, construction, retail, insurance, automotive and telecommunications shares were among the sectors or groups reported to have contributed to recent declines.

What these figures mean

Written by gpt-5.4-mini

The DAX rose 8.1% over the trailing year, while its annualised volatility of 15.9% means its price has typically moved around by a fairly noticeable amount over a year rather than staying still. The largest peak-to-trough fall was -12.3%, which means that at one point during the period it dropped 12.3% from a previous high before recovering. With a period high of 26,569.99 and a period low of 22,300.75, the current price being 74% of the way from the low to the high means it is much closer to the high than the low.
