Crypto heatmap
The crypto market heatmap compresses the top 200 cryptocurrencies into a single picture. Each rectangle's area is proportional to its market capitalisation — Bitcoin, Ethereum and the major altcoins all show up here — and the colour encodes price change over the selected period: red for losses, green for gains. A single glance is enough to read the day's or week's market sentiment.

The crypto heatmap is an interactive view that puts the entire top 200 cryptocurrencies into one frame. Each rectangle stands for a single coin from the top of the market-cap ranking — Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, BNB and the rest of the household names. The area of each rectangle scales with market capitalisation: the bigger the cell, the more dominant the coin, so you can read at a glance which assets carry the most weight in the market.
The colour encodes price change over the chosen period (24 hours): red marks a decline, green marks a gain. The deeper the shade, the larger the move — the darkest red cells are the day's biggest losers, the darkest green cells the biggest winners. It's the fastest way to read overall market sentiment without parsing a hundred separate price tickers.
Typical use cases: a daily bullish-vs-bearish trend check, comparing crypto price action on the 24-hour vs 7-day timeframe, spotting the largest daily movers, and a quick visual read on BTC dominance against the rest of the field.

The heatmap refreshes automatically from the CoinGecko live data feed.
How do I read the market today?
A heatmap that's overwhelmingly green tells you it's a bullish day — most of the market is moving up and altcoins are tracking Bitcoin higher. A sea of red means the opposite: losers dominate, often with sizeable daily drops. A mixed red-and-green picture points to sector rotation — some segments rising while others fall back.
24 hours or 7 days — which timeframe?
The 24-hour view captures short-term price action, daily sentiment and active trading opportunities — best suited to day traders and anyone tracking open positions. The 7-day view smooths out the daily noise and highlights the weekly trend — better for medium- and long-term investors interested in market direction and momentum rather than hour-by-hour volatility.
A note: the heatmap is not investment advice
The crypto heatmap is a visual information tool that displays current market data — price change and market capitalisation. Past performance (24-hour or 7-day) is not a reliable predictor of future price action. No serious investment decision should rest on the colour of a single rectangle; always combine technical reads with fundamental research, and only risk what you can afford to lose. The crypto market is highly volatile — 10–20% daily swings are not unusual.
