The variation

The normal range, made visible so changes can be read without doing arithmetic.

What it is

A reader without the normal range has to judge whether a movement matters, and they judge it against their memory of last month.

Drawing the band on the chart moves that judgement from the reader to the design, which is where it belongs.
