How we measured

We took the hour candles of Hyperliquid's ETH perpetual from 29 March 2026 to 23 October 2026: 5,000 candles, every hour of the day. Each hour figure is the average distance from a candle's high to its low; each day figure is the high to low of a whole UTC day (207 of them). Across a whole day ether moved $85.38 on average in that span, 4.01% of the price. We computed this on 23 October 2026. Busy hours come and go with the news, so treat this as a map of the usual day, not a promise for tomorrow.
