What the data shows
DAI trades at 1.0001. Over 365 days it ranged between 0.9501 and 1.1026; the price now sits in the lower third of that range — 33% of the way from the yearly low to the high.
24-hour turnover is $30K — the 13th percentile for the year: trading is quiet.
The daily range is 0.1% and five-minute NATR is 0.02%. That range is in the 12th percentile for the year — a noticeably calmer day than usual.
The instrument lives on a single venue (Kraken). Liquidity sits in one book, so slippage here is more noticeable than on coins listed across several exchanges.
NATR is 0.02% on the minute and 0.03% on the hour — price grinds: the hourly range is barely wider than the minute one.
DAI correlation with Bitcoin over 24 hours is -0.19 — it goes its own way, barely looking at Bitcoin.
Over the day +0.01%, over the hour 0.00%, over the last five minutes 0.00% — it moved livelier an hour ago and has since gone quiet.
By turnover it ranks 1632 of 1926 instruments in the screener.
By daily range it ranks 1903 of 1926.

How to read this
- Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. A positive rate means longs pay shorts: the market is crowded long.
- The rate rank shows how unusual that rate is for this particular coin: 97 means above 97% of the last month, a rare skew. Without the rank the bare number says nothing — every coin has its own normal.
- Open interest is the money sitting in positions that are still open. Rising alongside price means new money entering; rising while price falls means shorts building up.
- The OI rank is measured in contracts rather than dollars: otherwise it would drift up with price alone and claim a record where nothing changed.
- NATR shows how much a coin moves relative to its own price. High NATR with high turnover is where today's action is.
