2026-10-16 → 2026-10-20How this is measured
Each bar is one sync, oldest on the left. Bars show direction only, never amount, and all are the same height for that reason: we record whether a price changed, not what it was. A move under 1% counts as held. We do not keep price history, by design. See our pricing data for the method.
