Historical context
242 sessions- Volatility33.4%
72nd percentile of the last 222 readings — above typical. Annualised from the last twenty sessions, then ranked against the same calculation on every twenty-session window of the past year.
- Latest session+2.33%
80th percentile of the last 241 readings — high. Ranked on size and not direction, so an unusually large fall reads as unusual rather than as a low return.
- Five sessions-7.13%
2nd percentile of the last 237 readings — unusually low. Ranked among every five-session change of the past year, direction included.
- Twenty sessions-14.87%
1st percentile of the last 222 readings — unusually 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.

Figures are calculated from closing prices and exclude dividends, coupons and the cost of rolling futures contracts. Volatility is annualised using 252 trading days. Past movement describes what happened and implies nothing about what happens next.
