The “bigger increase” and the “closer to the high point” you asked about are not the same question.
In this same USDT snapshot, over the $FET 24-hour period, it rose by 8.5%, while $WLD fell by about 0.09%. If we only compare how much the change from the starting point in this window is, then FET rose more. But if you ask who is closer to their own 24-hour high point, the formula is: (current price − 24-hour low) ÷ (24-hour high − 24-hour low) × 100%. If you switch the reference point to the low, the answer is no longer determined by the rise/fall percentage.
FET: Interval position 69.52%
WLD: Interval position 49.08%
This time, the two rankings happen to match, but that’s not necessarily the case. A reusable way to judge is: first clarify whether you’re asking about “the change relative to the window’s starting point,” or “where it sits within its own interval.” If the two rankings end up reversed, first note that the comparison basis is different—don’t rush to interpret it as a contradiction in price action. Interval position is just an observation from this sampled data, not an indicator of probability of increase, a buy signal, or remaining upside. When you verify it yourself, first circle the key terms in the question, then plug them into the corresponding formula.
