Closing prices

57 closed sessions on record, 11 August to 6 October UTC. Nothing here is backfilled — the record begins when this site began watching.

BTC: 57 closed sessions. $63,504 on 11 August to $85,567 on 6 October UTC. High $87,326, low $62,552.$85,567$87,326$62,55211 August6 October

Each bar is that session’s high and low; the line joins the closes. The right-hand labels are the window’s own high, its low and the last close, so a line that fills the box may be a fraction of a per cent — where two of them land on the same line, the last close is the one shown.

The tape

818 readings over the last 68 hours. Readings, not ticks — this is what the site observed, and every dot is one observation. The gaps are real: where the poll did not return, there is no dot and the line is this site joining what it saw.
