Historical context

245 sessions

Volatility12.0%
1st percentile of the last 225 readings — unusually low. Annualised from the last twenty sessions, then ranked against the same calculation on every twenty-session window of the past year.
Latest session-0.29%
20th percentile of the last 244 readings — low. Ranked on size and not direction, so an unusually large fall reads as unusual rather than as a low return.
Five sessions+0.64%
61st percentile of the last 240 readings — above typical. Ranked among every five-session change of the past year, direction included.
Twenty sessions-3.15%
25th percentile of the last 225 readings — below 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 Hang Seng was down 6.5%, so the end point was lower than the start point. An annualised volatility of 18.8% means the price has typically moved around quite a lot over time, and the largest peak-to-trough fall of 18.9% means that at one point it dropped 18.9% from a previous high before recovering. With a period high of 27,968.09 and a period low of 22,671.86, the current price being 39% of the way from the low to the high places it closer to the low than the high.
