Why it is moving

Nothing in today’s news bears on it directly.

Which way it leans, and how far it could go

Slight lean down

Trend: below its 50-day average and down 5.8% in a month.

A typical day: ±1.5% (±$0.0932)

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.

Next week$6.01 – $6.42 ±3.4%$5.82 – $6.64
Next month$5.80 – $6.66 ±6.9%$5.43 – $7.11

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.
