How it works
Each cycle starts at 1× on its halving day and ends before the next halving. Prices are divided by that cycle’s starting price. The current cycle is incomplete. Comparisons show recorded history and do not predict the next cycle.
Each currency uses its own saved history. Earlier dates are unavailable when that currency has no recorded price. Today's point uses the latest available quote. Past dates use recorded daily observations.
