Binance spot grid · LINK/USDT · 2026-07-14 to 2026-10-12
We launched a LINK/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 LINK the grid bought at the start.
In this period the ±10% range with 10 levels beat holding LINK most often: in 58% of weekly launches. That's history, not a recommendation. Holding LINK itself returned a median +3.25% per week in this period.
