I don't see how the 229 is 180 degrees opposed to the 200 in the square.

How does this affect interpretation of the square?

Here is an excerpt, the newsletter may be downloaded from 
http://www.mta-usa.org/newsletter.cfm :

"If corn settled at 211 on the 200th day of the year, tomorrow
tomorrow's expected range is 197-229. This is obtained by moving
vertically from 200 to the corner at 197 and proceeding on a straight
line through the center to the first number which makes sense as an 
upper bound, in this case."
