What these figures mean

Written by gpt-5.4-mini

The return over the trailing year was 23.3%, while the annualised volatility of 15.4% means the price has typically moved around by a fairly noticeable amount over a year, rather than staying close to one level. The largest peak-to-trough fall was -10.9%, which means that at one point the price dropped 10.9% from a previous high before later recovering within the period. With a period low of 5,291.04 and a period high of 6,573.23, and the current price sitting 100% of the way from the low to the high, the price is at the high end of that range.
