$LINK spot price is currently 11.404 USDT, down 0.11% over the past 24 hours. The decline is small, but during that same 24-hour period, the price ranged from 11.26 USDT to 11.554 USDT—the swings between the high and low were much larger than the net decline. The percentage change reflects only the starting and ending points; to see the movement in between, look at the range.

In the most recent full hour, the price rose 0.28%, with trading volume of about 505,000 USDT, up 47% from about 344,000 USDT in the previous full hour. Higher trading volume means activity picked up during this period, but it doesn’t mean there were more buyers than sellers, nor does it indicate an inflow of funds.

When watching the market, do you focus more on percentage changes or on the swings between highs and lows?
