Behaviour On Record
iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF is currently running 2.1% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against SHY's own 9 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 64th percentile — a little above its own norm, against a typical reading of 1.8%.
SHY is trading -6.0% below its running peak. Across 9 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -1.7%, and the deepest was -5.7% 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 -0.8% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 17th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year SHY closed higher on 48% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.
On November specifically: over 9 years of records, SHY finished the month higher 6 of 9 times, with a median return of +0.2% and an average of +0.3%. Its strongest month historically has been March at +0.3% on average, its weakest September at -0.1%.
Overnight risk is measurable too: SHY has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 0 of 2,327 sessions (0.0% of the time), with the largest gaps running +1.5% and -1.2%.
All figures computed from 2,328 daily closes between 2017-08-03 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against SHY's own 9-year history, not a peer group or index.
