Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF is currently running 6.1% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against BND's own 8 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 67th percentile — a little above its own norm, against a typical reading of 5.0%.
BND is trading -20.6% below its running peak. Across 8 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -6.1%, and the deepest was -17.7% in 2022. The current drawdown is already deeper than this fund's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began, and where past declines also continued.
Price sits -2.0% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 24th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year BND closed higher on 50% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.
On November specifically: over 8 years of records, BND finished the month higher 8 of 8 times, with a median return of +0.9% and an average of +1.5%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +1.5% on average, its weakest September at -0.9%.
Overnight risk is measurable too: BND has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 2 of 2,080 sessions (0.1% of the time), with the largest gaps running +5.5% and -1.7%.
All figures computed from 2,081 daily closes between 2018-07-27 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against BND's own 8-year history, not a peer group or index.
