What these figures mean

Written by gpt-5.4-mini

Over the trailing year, the figure rose by 22.7%, and the current price is 96% of the way from the low of 43,975.09 to the high of 54,349.12. An annualised volatility of 12.6% means the price has typically moved around by about 12.6% over a year, so day-to-day or week-to-week changes can be noticeable even when the longer-run figure is positive. The largest peak-to-trough fall of -10.0% means that at one point it dropped 10.0% from a previous high before later recovering.
