How far could the market move? Next-week and next-month ranges
For the Nifty, the Sensex, sector indices and the 2,000 most-traded NSE stocks: the range the price is likely to stay within over the next week (5 trading sessions) and the next month (21 sessions), at three levels of confidence. An 80% range should hold about 8 times in 10. The ranges are centred on the last close: they say how far, not which way. Forecasts are locked before the market reopens and graded in public.

The bar shows the 95% (light), 80% and 50% (dark) ranges around the last close (the line). Dates are the session each range runs to.
How far could each stock move? 2,000
The typical move for each of the 2,000 most-traded NSE stocks, as a percentage of the last close. A wide range means a stock that has been swinging hard lately; size positions and stop-losses accordingly.

How the ranges are made
- From the last close, we measure how much each index and stock has been moving lately: an average of daily moves that gives recent days more weight, so it reacts within days when markets turn rough.
- That sets the typical size of the next week's and month's move.
- We then check how often ranges of that size actually held over the last 250 sessions (500 for indices), and widen or narrow them until the 50%, 80% and 95% ranges held 50%, 80% and 95% of the time (conformal calibration). Stocks are calibrated in four liquidity groups, because thinly traded stocks jump more.
- The day's list is locked and its SHA-256 fingerprint published before the market reopens; nothing is edited later. Each forecast is graded when its last session closes.
Before launch, the method was tested on 2014–2026 data for the 300 most-traded stocks: weekly 80% ranges held between 79% and 81% of the time in every single year; monthly 80% ranges held 80% on average, but between 76% and 84% in years when the market's mood changed. That was a back-test; the live record is on the accuracy page.
