How this works
- Normal day: the move is compared with the median daily move of the previous 90 days, and ranked against the past year.
- Market part: for coins other than Bitcoin, we estimate how much of the move matches Bitcoin’s move, using the last 90 days of daily returns (a simple beta). It is an estimate, not an exact split.
- Headlines: dated headlines from publishers that mention the asset, from about six hours before the day starts to six hours after it ends (UTC). Our own archive runs from 30 September 2026; older crypto, gold and rupee days use the GDELT news index where available.
- Free and Pro: free explains the last 30 days; Pro explains any day in the full history.
Education, not financial advice. A headline on the same day is not proof of cause.
