24H Change Meaning

24H Change is the percentage difference between the current market price of a cryptocurrency or NFT and its price exactly 24 hours earlier. Because digital assets trade continuously, this metric is widely used as a quick indicator of short-term momentum and market sentiment. To calculate 24H Change, platforms compare the latest traded price with the price recorded one day before and express the result as a positive or negative percentage.

For example, if Bitcoin is trading at $20,000 and was priced at $19,000 24 hours ago, the 24H Change is +5%. The same calculation applies when prices fall, resulting in a negative value.

Exchanges, market data providers, and portfolio dashboards typically display 24H Change alongside other core indicators such as 24-hour volume, market capitalization, and order book depth. Traders use it to quickly see whether an asset has experienced a meaningful move over the last day, identify potential breakouts or sharp drawdowns, and prioritize which markets to investigate further.

However, 24H Change is only a snapshot. It does not show how volatile the asset was within the period, how liquid the market is, or whether the move is supported by strong volume.

For a more complete picture, investors often combine 24H Change with candlestick charts, volume profiles, volatility measures, and funding or open-interest data in derivatives markets. Even with its limitations, 24H Change remains one of the most commonly referenced metrics in crypto markets, providing an immediate sense of direction and scale of recent price action.
