How to read Bitcoin Profitable Days

This percentage counts earlier recorded daily closes below the selected date’s close. It gives equal weight to each earlier closing date.

How to read it

Equal closes count separately and stay in the total. The selected date itself is excluded.

Limitations

A lower daily close does not mean every intraday purchase would profit after fees; early market history is incomplete.
