In other words, the percentage can go lower or higher as more elements are added to the dataset.

It seems way too noisy to me. Like a data point can swing from 4.59% to 2.66% in a minute interval. That's nearly doubling, so how can you interpret either value?

The latest data point on its own can fluctuate but it's the overall trend that showcases the growth

Yeah, my thinking is that a trendline would be useful.
