Price difference between EOD and minute bar

Hi, I’m new to alpaca, just download the historical minute bar and daily bar, but I found it doesn’t match between the minute and daily data, for example, AAPL on 2022-03-24, daily OHLC closing price is 174.07, but the minute bar is closing at 174.09 at 16:00:00 and 174.10 at 15:59:00

Why there’s the difference and how can I get the accurate End Of Day price?

Thank you.

I’ve faced with the same issue: open price of Daily bar dramatically differs from open prices of the 1st bar of this day for all other timeframes.
It is not on Alpaca only, I checked different sources, so I believe I’m missing something.

Example: APD price for 8th of June 2023.
D1 candle opened at 276.35:

First M1 bar opened at 282.43 (as all other intraday TFs):

As you can see on M5 chart, the price did not fall below 279.99 during the day:

How is it possible? Why D1 price differs so much?

I’m not just curious. My trade was executed at 282.43, but my analysis is based on Daily bars, so I expected to open trade near 276.35…

Thanks in advance for any tips!
