Binance spot grid · ETH/USDT · 2026-07-11 to 2026-10-09
We launched a ETH/USDT spot grid every day for the last 90 days, each running 7 days, with ranges centred on the price at launch. Each run is compared with simply holding the ETH the grid bought at the start.
In this period the ±10% range with 10 levels beat holding ETH most often: in 80% of weekly launches. That's history, not a recommendation. Holding ETH itself returned a median +0.98% per week in this period.
