The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- BND closes above its 50-day average ($71.11) while the 50-day is still under the 200-day ($72.86): a rebound inside a longer decline, not yet an uptrend.
- At $71.40, BND is 5.1% below its 1-year high of $75.23, set on February 27, 2026, and 2.5% above its 1-year low of $69.65 (October 1, 2026).
- Over the past month BND rose 2.1%, from $69.94 to $71.40.
- BND's 30-day volatility, 4.2% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 0.3%.
What would change the read
- The rebound holds while it closes above the 50-day average, $71.11 (−0.4%); it becomes an uptrend when the 50-day climbs 2.5% to cross the 200-day at $72.86.
- A close above $75.23 (+5.4%) would be a new 1-year high; below $69.65 (−2.5%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for BND, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
