Not financial advice. Every figure comes from each coin’s own daily candles on public exchange data, with the same maths as the app: a “usual week” is the middle of the past year’s Monday-to-Sunday moves, and how rare a move is counts how often one that size happened in that year. Weeks run Monday to Sunday, UTC. History, not a forecast. Market figures from CoinMarketCap, saved each day at 00:10 UTC.
