It last traded 15.8% below its 30-day high and 0.1% above its 30-day low.

How these numbers are measured

Prices are Binance spot hourly closes for BTCUSDT over the last 30 full days. Daily range is the median distance from a day's low to its high. Beta is how far BTC moved, on average, for each 1% Bitcoin moved in the same hour; correlation is how consistently it moved with Bitcoin. Jumps are hours with a move of 5% or more; the busiest hours (14:00, 15:00, 23:00 UTC here) have the largest average move. Volume is the 7-day median on Binance USDT perpetuals.
