Another thing I wish to state is that you don't need to actually do the calculations in math for the BTC Charts. All you need to do is see the price action and understand its general direction. From this, you can see if your coin is outperforming the market thereby making it a lucrative investment, or is it a risk-on asset with no extra benefits than BTC's price?
