Measured with medians rather than averages, because one spike — an update, a streamer, a brief squeeze — drags an average around for weeks afterwards and makes everything since look ordinary. Worth noting here: this item typically moves 5.18% in a day, which is more than the -14.96% you would be capturing — so holding it overnight risks more than the flip makes.
