FAQ
What is shown on this page?+
Market-wide indicators rather than single coins: the total market capitalization of all tracked cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin's share of it (dominance), market sentiment (Fear & Greed Index), whether altcoins are beating Bitcoin (Altcoin Season Index) and quarterly returns of BTC and ETH.
Where does the data come from?+
Prices and volumes are aggregated from the exchanges CMC.io tracks. Market capitalization is price times circulating supply. The indicators are recorded every hour; earlier history is rebuilt from daily price candles.
Which indicator should I look at first?+
Start with Bitcoin dominance to see whether money is concentrating in BTC or moving into altcoins, then check the Fear & Greed Index for sentiment and the Altcoin Season Index to confirm whether altcoins actually outperform. Quarterly returns add historical context.
Can these indicators predict the market?+
No indicator predicts prices. Together they describe the current phase of the market: rising dominance with fear is typical for defensive periods, falling dominance with greed and a high altcoin index for late bull phases. This is not investment advice.
