Not with the price chart itself, no.
But you can write an indicator which can show you this info.
Or you can calculate the percentages manually and input them via the Downloader; then you'll be able to have a smarchart with percentages.
Hope this helps.

Try this:

((C-Ref(C,-1))/Ref(C,-1))*100

and plot it on a separate window in your chart.

You have got such an indicator already, though not a very good one; it is called Relative Strength (not RSI!).
For more on this, visit MetaStockTools.com and check the URSC kit.
