Litecoin drawdown FAQ
How is the drawdown from the all-time high calculated?
Drawdown is today's daily close divided by the highest daily close since the coin was listed on Binance spot, minus one. Zero means the latest close is itself an all-time high; -50% means the price is half of its peak. Intraday wicks are ignored.
Is this the true all-time high of the coin?
Only since the Binance spot listing on 13 Dec 2017: history before that, or on other venues, is not included, so Litecoin's all-time high elsewhere can differ slightly. It uses closing prices (UTC), not intraday highs.
How are recovery days counted?
Calendar days from a peak to the first later daily close above it. A drawdown that has not recovered yet counts the days to the latest candle and is marked still underwater. Only drawdowns of at least 20% are listed.
What is a maximum drawdown?
The largest peak-to-trough fall before a new high. It shows how much a holder had to sit through, not a forecast. See the monthly returns and funding rates for context. Nothing here is financial advice.
