Bitcoin in the News : 2024-09 Price
In last month's post Bitcoin in the News : 2024-08 Price (September 2024), I wrote,
At first I thought that the volume bars, coded green and red, correspond to a rising or falling price during that interval, but then I noticed some exceptions.
Since the exceptions are a small minority of the volume bars for a month, I now suspect that there is not perfect correspondence between the 24-hour periods covered by the price lines and those covered by the volume bars.
The small letters 'TV' in the lower left of the chart expand to 'Chart by TradingView'. Next month I'll look at some of the options on the chart.

Bitcoin in the News : 2024-08 Price
This month I missed my self-imposed deadline and created the chart on the second day of the month.
...once again I missed the deadline by a day for this month.
Last month I also wrote,
Since this is the first month with the new chart look, I'm not sure what to look for. Maybe next month it will make more sense.
The top half of the chart is green and the bottom half is red. The price separating green and red is the midpoint between the highest price on the chart and the lowest point.
The volume bars at the bottom of the screen have no numeric quantities associated with them; they are all relative to each other. At first I thought that the volume bars, coded green and red, correspond to a rising or falling price during that interval, but then I noticed some exceptions.
For example, the bar corresponding to 9 August is red and the price indeed fell over that interval. The bar to its right, however, is green but the price also fell over its interval. Maybe next month I'll spot the real meaning of green and red volume bars.

Next month I'll try to create the chart on the first day of the new month.
