Normal but compressed vol regime suggests daily ranges of $30-50 versus the $80-120 seen during the Q2 breakdown and $50-70 during the recent breakout; stops placed tighter than $30 risk noise-triggering given PL's 7.24% average weekly move characteristic; the consolidation range ($1,720-$1,780) defines the near-term boundaries
