Reading A Choppy Series

A series that moves both ways like this is telling you the underlying driver isn't fixed — conditions are shifting, or the indicator itself is sensitive to short-term noise.

If there is one year in this chart to research further, it is 2022. A 17% single-year move is well outside the normal pace of change for this kind of indicator.
