Crypto Corner: XRP Moved More Than Bitcoin, and Its Only Lean Rests on 19 Days

XRP sat at $1.4916 at noon Eastern, down 1.32% from its open and down 0.9% on the day. Bitcoin sat at $85,252, down 1.02% from its open and flat at 0.0% on the day. A spread is the distance between the day's high and low, measured as a percentage. XRP's low of $1.4886 to high of $1.5309 is a 2.8% spread; Bitcoin's low of $85,163 to high of $86,996 is a 2.2% spread.

A "lean" is a pattern in the market record — a window of time that, on comparable past days, tended to end one way. The record shows one coming lean: XRP's 12:15–12:30 Eastern window leans down. That lean rests on 19 comparable days, and the window ended higher on 26% of them. Bitcoin has no coming window with a lean.

Two numbers sit next to each other: 2.8% and 19 days. The record does not say what a reader should do with them.
