Versus the market
LINK's typical 3-month return moves 4.8 times as much as the S&P 500's from one regime to another (LINK −5.3% to +15.0%, S&P 500 +1.7% to +6.0%).
Today's reading: 24th percentile (0 most Risk-Off, 100 most Risk-On), as of Sep 25, 2026.
LINK shares the market's weakest regime, Mildly Off. That is today's regime. Risk-Off has too little history for LINK to say whether it shared the market's bounce.
How to read this
Base rates, not forecasts. These describe what LINK did after past days in each market regime. They are not forecasts: any single period can land far from the typical return, and a pattern from LINK's history since 2017 may not hold in the years ahead.
The numbers. The typical return is the median: the middle outcome, with half of past periods better and half worse. The usual range holds 8 in 10 of them, from the 10th to the 90th percentile. Past periods are counted only when they do not overlap. Limited history means 10 to 14 such periods, shown in italics; too little history means fewer than 10, shown as a dash. LINK history from November 9, 2017, data through September 26, 2026. Coins trade every day; the market regime is read on US market days, so every past period starts on one.
About the same. The sentence under the title sets LINK's typical return in today's regime against its typical return across all markets; figures within half a point, or within a tenth of the larger one, count as about the same. Versus the market sets how far its typical return moves across regimes against the S&P 500's move, which says nothing about better or worse overall.
Single coins. For one coin the US market regime is context, not the main driver; crypto has cycles of its own. Use it as context, not a reason to act. How the mild-stress Dead Zone has played out for US stocks.
