Price outlook — trend & volatility model

● Trend: Below long-term trend

Price sits below its 200-day average, but the shorter-term averages are not cleanly aligned above/below it.

Horizon	Bear case (−1σ)	Base case	Bull case (+1σ)
1 Month	$19.38 (-12.1%)	$22.05	$25.09 (+13.8%)
3 Months	$17.63 (-20.1%)	$22.05	$27.58 (+25.1%)
6 Months	$16.07 (-27.1%)	$22.05	$30.26 (+37.2%)
12 Months	$14.09 (-36.1%)	$22.05	$34.50 (+56.5%)

Statistical, not machine-learning: a random-walk (no assumed drift) volatility model built from this ticker's own realized price history, plus a purely descriptive moving-average trend read. Illustrative only — not a price target and not financial advice. The bear and bull cases sit one standard deviation (1σ) below and above today's price, a range that covers about 68% of the outcomes the model treats as plausible, not a 68% chance of either case. Annualized volatility used: 44.8%, blended from this ticker's own 3-month and 1-year realized price history. Base case is deliberately flat — this quantifies a possible range, not a directional prediction. See the full model, including wider (≈95%) bands →
