What the Crypto Heatmap Tells You
Bigger blocks are bigger coins, and the color shows how far each one has moved over the selected period.
Market-Wide Moves
When almost every block is the same color, the whole crypto market is moving together, usually behind Bitcoin.
Coin-Specific News
A single block moving against the rest often points to news about that coin, like a network upgrade, a new listing or a regulatory ruling.
Bitcoin's Weight
Bitcoin’s block is the largest by far, so a small move in BTC can matter more to the market than a big move in a smaller coin.
Weekend Activity
Crypto trades through the weekend, so the heatmap often shows the first reaction to news that breaks while stock markets are closed.
