Market notes

One fact at a time from the data of our coins: positioning, records, funding, what the news is about. Every number is set by code from exchange data; a note states a fact, not a forecast.

Volatility26 Oct 2026, 07:22 UTC

WLD has the widest typical daily range at 12.3%

  • WLD moves 12.3% in a typical day (14-day ATR), the most of today's coins; TRX the least at 1.0%.
  • Median across the list: 7.2%.
  • A measure of range, not of direction.

Typical daily movement is wide across today's list: WLD sits at 12.3%, TRX at 1.0%, and the median is 7.2%. This points to very different trading ranges across the coins, not direction.

Day recap25 Oct 2026, 23:16 UTC

  • Past results, not a forecast.

Breadth was weak with 4 of 10 finishing higher while BTC stayed sideways at 60.0% dominance. Fear & Greed moved from 51 to 54, so sentiment improved a bit even as ETH printed its lowest close in 65 days.

Below the peak25 Oct 2026, 19:22 UTC

7 of 10 are more than 50% below their all-time high

  • TRX is the closest of today's coins to its all-time high, 23.4% below it.
  • WLD is the furthest, 96.1% below its own peak.
  • 7 of 10 are more than 50% below their all-time high.
  • Distance from a past peak, not a target.

Even TRX, the closest name, is still 23.4% below its all-time high, while WLD is 96.1% below its own peak. Taken together, today's list sits much closer to old drawdowns than to past highs.

Year range25 Oct 2026, 11:23 UTC

0 of 10 are in the top quarter of their own year

  • NEAR sits at 70% of its 52-week range, the highest of today's coins; SUI at 13%, the lowest.
  • 0 of 10 are in the top quarter of their own year, 3 in the bottom quarter.
  • NEAR moved -11.9% over the last 7 days, SUI -8.1%.
  • Position in a range, not a target.

Even the highest sits at 70%, and 0 of 10 are in the top quarter while 3 are in the bottom quarter. With NEAR at -11.9% over the last 7 days and SUI at -8.1%, today's group looks soft rather than stretched high.

Funding25 Oct 2026, 07:26 UTC

Longs pay shorts on 8 of 10 coins

  • Longs pay shorts on 8 of 10 coins, shorts pay longs on 2.
  • Costliest to hold long: BTC at +10.3%/yr.
  • Costliest to hold short: TRX at -23.2%/yr.
  • Funding is a cost, not a direction.

Funding leans to longs paying across today's list, with BTC the priciest long at +10.3%/yr. The other side is sharper in TRX, where the priciest short is -23.2%/yr.

Day recap24 Oct 2026, 23:18 UTC

ETH closed at its lowest in 64 days

BTC was up with 59.5% dominance, but only 4 of 10 finished higher. Fear & Greed was 51 after 50, so the day looked mixed with breadth soft and ETH notably weak.

Distance to averagesWLD24 Oct 2026, 19:21 UTC

0 of 10 trade above their 20-day average

  • WLD is -11.0% from its 20-day average, -4.6% from the 50-day and +3.9% from the 200-day.
  • 0 of 10 trade above their 20-day average.
  • Distances as of now, not targets.

0 of 10 above the 20-day average points to weak short-term trend. WLD at -11.0% vs the 20-day and -4.6% vs the 50-day, while still +3.9% vs the 200-day, shows near-term weakness over a still-positive long-term backdrop.
