Crypto — Intraday and End-of-Day OHLCV

Schema

Data formats

• Intraday bars (1-minute, 5-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour): the timestamp has the date and time, yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss (UTC).
• End-of-day bars (daily): the timestamp is the date only, yyyy-MM-dd, with no time.
• Columns: timestamp, open, high, low, close, volume (coin units), the same at every frequency.
• Daily bars run midnight to midnight UTC, not on a US Eastern trading day.

Methodology

[Exchange / price source to confirm.] Pairs are quoted in USD unless the ticker says otherwise (e.g. BTC-EUR, ETH-BTC). No adjustments are applied.

Intended uses

• Training and evaluating forecasting and time-series models
• Building reinforcement-learning environments and market simulators
• Backtesting and quantitative research

Known limitations

• Bars with zero volume are left out rather than filled, so a gap in the sequence means no trades. Gaps are most common in small caps and in pre- and post-market hours.
• Trading halts, such as the March 2020 market-wide circuit breakers, show up as gaps.
• Unlike the other datasets, timestamps are in UTC, not US Eastern.
• Start dates vary widely. BTC begins in 2013, most major coins in 2017–2018, and newer tokens from their listing date.
