The outliers on both ends reflect genuine uncertainty in how each system weights cycle exhaustion against the pace of institutional demand. No model predicted a new all-time high, and none called for a retest of the February lows. That relative convergence around a recovery, rather than a breakout or a collapse, is itself telling.
