How Ethereum moves

On a typical day Ethereum moves 3.7% from its low to its high (the median over 30 days), less than 97% of the 200 most-traded coins, one of the calmest coins on the list.

When Bitcoin moves 1% in an hour, ETH moves about 1.27% in the same direction on average (beta 1.27). Its correlation with Bitcoin is 0.90: it follows Bitcoin closely. Most of its hourly moves line up with Bitcoin's.

Like almost every coin, it absorbs Bitcoin's moves within the same hour; there is no measurable one-hour lag.

On its last full day it moved 4.2% from low to high, 1.1× its usual range and traded 1.0× its usual perpetual volume.

In the last 30 days it had no hours with a move of 5% or more, and its busiest hours were 15:00, 14:00, 21:00 UTC.

It last traded 19.7% below its 30-day high and 0.7% above its 30-day low.

How these numbers are measured

Prices are Binance spot hourly closes for ETHUSDT over the last 30 full days. Daily range is the median distance from a day's low to its high. Beta is how far ETH 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 (15:00, 14:00, 21:00 UTC here) have the largest average move. Volume is the 7-day median on Binance USDT perpetuals.
