Which way it leans, and how far it could go
Trend: below its 50-day average and down 1.1% in a month.

We keep score: every day each lean is checked a day later, and how often they were right will show here once 20 have been checked.
| Over the | Likely range | Wider range |
|---|---|---|
| Next hour | $98.28 – $99.93 ±0.8% | $97.50 – $100.73 |
| Next day | $95.22 – $103.13 ±4.0% | $91.65 – $107.16 |

Where it should end the period two times in three (likely) and nineteen times in twenty (wider), if the coming days swing as much as the recent ones: a volatility forecast from its past year, weighted to the last weeks. Our lean puts together how today’s news bears on it and its trend; it can be wrong, and markets can move more. Not investment advice.
