Interpreting Bitcoin Price Fluctuations
Price Calculation
Bitcoin’s daily volatility is measured against its previous closing price:
Formula:
(Current Price – Yesterday’s Close) / Yesterday’s Close × 100%
Example:
If Bitcoin closes at $40,000 today and opened at $38,000 yesterday:
(40,000 – 38,000) / 38,000 × 100% = 5.26% increase.
Key Indicators
- 24-Hour Change: Compares current price to the same time the previous day.
- Market Sentiment: Tools like the Fear & Greed Index highlight investor behavior extremes.
