Live Price Ticker Text
A live quote that ticks every second, flashing green when the price rises and red when it falls, with a matching arrow. The six prices, colors and arrows all come from generated keyframes.
Also known as: live price animation, price change flash, crypto price ticker css.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--txt-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Font size: set
--txt-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing40px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
