Binance spot grid · UNI/USDT · 2026-07-11 to 2026-10-09
We launched a UNI/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 UNI the grid bought at the start.
In this period the ±30% range with 20 levels beat holding UNI most often: in 62% of weekly launches. That's history, not a recommendation. Holding UNI itself returned a median +5.42% per week in this period.
