| Over the | Likely range | Wider range |
|---|---|---|
| Next hour | Closed | |
| Next day | 24.48 – 32.44 ±14.1% | 21.39 – 37.13 |

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.
