Markets · Crypto
Majors and alt-coin action
Bitcoin, Ether and the long tail of layer-1s, layer-2s and memecoins — quoted, ranked and screenable on one page. This market never closes, so neither does the tape.
The whole market in one frame
Every tile is a coin, sized by market capitalisation and coloured by the session move. It is the fastest way to see whether a green day is broad or whether two large caps are carrying a red tail.
BTC/USD, drawable
The full charting surface: intervals from one minute to one month, indicators, drawing tools, and a symbol switch if you would rather look at ETH, SOL or a perpetual.

Every listed coin, sortable on price, session move, turnover and capitalisation. Switch the column set in the toolbar to move from an overview to performance, volatility or valuation.
Dominance tells you which regime you are in
Dominance is one asset's share of total crypto capitalisation. It is a positioning gauge, not a price forecast — but the shape of the rotation is usually readable.
Rising Bitcoin dominance in a rising market is a risk-on tape with a conservative bid: capital is arriving, but it wants the deepest book. Rising dominance in a falling market is the opposite — money is retreating from the long tail and parking in the majors before it leaves entirely.
Falling dominance while total capitalisation grows is the classic alt-coin rotation: the marginal buyer is reaching further down the cap curve. Falling dominance on shrinking total cap usually means leverage, not conviction, and it tends to unwind quickly.
Read it alongside breadth. A dominance drop carried by two or three names is a narrative trade; one carried by forty is a regime.

A market with no session is a different animal
Most trading infrastructure assumes an open and a close. Crypto has neither, and four things change because of it.
No closing bell
Spot books quote every hour of every day, so a Sunday gap is something you trade through rather than wake up to. Time-based rules need an explicit session filter — otherwise "previous close" means whatever bar your provider stamped at 00:00 UTC.
Weekend liquidity is thinner
Market-maker inventory shrinks once traditional venues shut. The same $2m order that barely moves the book on Wednesday afternoon can walk it several ticks on Saturday, which is why weekend candles print wider ranges on lower volume.
Perp funding sets the carry
Perpetual futures have no expiry, so exchanges use a periodic funding payment to tether them to spot. When funding is positive, longs pay shorts and crowded upside positioning is quietly expensive to hold.
Basis is a positioning signal
The gap between quarterly futures and spot widens when leverage builds and compresses when it unwinds. Track it beside open interest and you get an early read on whether a rally is spot-led or borrowed.
AlgoBeam alerts run continuously against the crypto tape, so a funding flip or a dominance break at 03:00 UTC on a Sunday reaches your webhook at 03:00 UTC on a Sunday.
