Methodology
This page reports market statistics computed from daily closing data. It states figures and their historical context only — no interpretation, ratings, targets or forecasts.
Full definitions for every metric on this page — how each is computed, over what window and on what basis — are on the methodology page.
Note (platinum, palladium): most daily bars on these feeds are close-only settles, a settlement price without the day’s open, high and low. Price changes, moving averages, RSI and volatility use every settle; ATR and the day’s range use only the days with a full bar, and ATR’s own-history percentile is withheld as unreliable.
