Title: Question about percentage increase/decrease Post by: bitcoinnurse on December 17, 2017, 10:51:24 PM Hello all,
Excuse my naivety. I have just started using coinbase.. When for example it reads a ‘+20.67% from today’. Does ‘today’ pertain to ‘compared to the value 24hours ago’ or the value since midnight. I’m comparing figures from say 22:50 tonight (I’m the the UK) and 22:50 last night and the percentages do not correlate. Nor however do they when calculated from midnight, Could someone kindly explain? Thanks :) Title: Re: Question about percentage increase/decrease Post by: TryNinja on December 17, 2017, 11:08:20 PM Quote In 24 hour markets High and Low usually mean "highest/lowest price in last 24 hours". https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/41055/bitcoin-market-hours-open-close-pricesOpen generally refers to the price at 12:01 AM UTC of any given day and close generally refers to the price at 11:59 PM UTC of any given day. HitBTC for example: Quote [...] a new day starts on 0:00 UTC (or 12:00 AM). https://forum.hitbtc.com/discussion/310/bitcoin-market-hours-open-close-pricesTitle: Re: Question about percentage increase/decrease Post by: xnightly on December 18, 2017, 12:16:40 AM Usually it's the price -24 hours ago. so 20%+ in 24 hours would mean, if something was $10 yesterday at 5pm, it would be 12$ today at 5pm, for a 20%+ increase day over day.
