Price outlook — trend & volatility model

▲ Trend: Uptrend

Price is above its 20-, 50- and 200-day averages, each stacked above the next — a classic technical uptrend structure.

Horizon	Bear case (−1σ)	Base case	Bull case (+1σ)
1 Month	$478.97 (-9.5%)	$529.05	$584.36 (+10.5%)
3 Months	$445.35 (-15.8%)	$529.05	$628.48 (+18.8%)
6 Months	$414.68 (-21.6%)	$529.05	$674.96 (+27.6%)
12 Months	$374.89 (-29.1%)	$529.05	$746.61 (+41.1%)

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: 34.4%, 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 →
