Methodology: Range is calculated using 30-day realized volatility via geometric Brownian motion (log-normal model). 68% band = ±1σ, 95% band = ±2σ. This is a statistical model, not a prediction. Past volatility does not guarantee future results. Not financial advice.
Investor takeaway: While a 0.41% drop may seem insignificant, it could signal underlying issues that investors should monitor closely, especially in a volatile market.
