Market price vs its 12-month average
Think of the average as the market's long-term walking path. When the price stays above it, conditions are usually calmer; when it falls below, investors should expect more caution and volatility.
Drop from the market high
This shows how far the market has fallen from its best recent level. A small drop is normal; a deep drop means portfolios may feel more stress and patience becomes more important.
