Description

At the moment, the change indicators are based off of the last data in the cache/data/*.json files. As such, they may be inaccurate if this isn't left running continually/hasn't been started in a long time.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how change indicators are currently computed from cached data. Identify the source of the cached data and determine how to fetch the actual t 1 data from the Bitcoin exchange API or historical data source. Implement the change to pull live or recent historical data instead of relying on stale cache.
