Market correlations
How to read it
- Returns compare the last close with the close on the start date (or the trading day just before it). This year starts from the last close of December.
- Volatility is how much the daily changes swing, scaled to a year: 15% means a normal year moves the price about 15% either way. It is measured over the last 20 and 60 trading days.
- Average daily range is the average distance from each day's high to its low over the last 14 trading days.
- Seasonality shows what each month did in past years. A handful of years is a small sample: a month that rose in most of them can fall this year. It describes the past and forecasts nothing.
- A typical year adds up each month's average change from January, so the line shows how an average year went, not how any real year did. Typical swing is how far that month's changes usually sit from their average (the standard deviation).
- By hour of the day shows how far the price moves on average in each hour, up or down, by the hour the move started, in UTC. It says when the price tends to move, not which way.
