CHARTS.
THE METHOD.

1. What is live here?

Crypto prices update automatically through TradingView while the widget is connected. Check the observation time, market label and feed status inside the chart. Loading the page or its module does not prove that a current market observation has arrived. A disconnected or unavailable feed must not be treated as a new quote.

The static answer, axis guide and FAQs describe the selected metric. They do not print a separate “latest price” outside the feed. We do not scrape provider values from the widget, create a duplicate quote API, or offer a market-data CSV export.

2. Prices are named markets

BTC/USD, ETH/USD, SOL/USD and LTC/USD use Coinbase spot markets. XMR/USD, USDT/USD and USDC/USD use Kraken spot markets. The venue and exact symbol appear above every chart. A price on one venue can differ from another exchange, a futures contract, a DEX pool or an aggregated price.

ETH/BTC uses Coinbase’s directly traded spot pair, measured in BTC per ETH. We do not calculate it from two separately timed dollar feeds. Its direction describes relative price on that market, not a guaranteed return in US dollars.

3. Time windows and bars

The range buttons request 1D, 5D, 1M, 6M or 1Y views. The provider can adapt the bar interval to that range; its actual interval is labelled inside the plot. The default timezone is UTC. Zooming or panning changes the visible window. The provider determines available history for each symbol.

A line is a simpler view of observations. Candles show the open, high, low and close of each bar; the current bar can change before it ends. A wider bar is a summary, not a record of every trade. No all-time-high or worst-intraday-deviation claim is calculated from these presets.

4. Dollar pegs and basis points

The USDC and USDT pages show a single Kraken spot market against USD. They are not chain-specific pool prices, global aggregates, reserve attestations or offers to redeem tokens. One dollar is the arithmetic reference.

The manual calculator takes a quote entered by the reader. Its output is separate from the feed. Percentage deviation is (price / 1 USD − 1) × 100; basis-point deviation is (price / 1 USD − 1) × 10,000. A quote of $0.9990 corresponds to −0.10% or −10 basis points. Input examples are labelled and are never presented as live market readings.

5. Bitcoin dominance and TOTAL

CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL follows TradingView’s combined market capitalization of the top 125 ranked cryptocurrencies in its Crypto Coins Screener. CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D expresses Bitcoin capitalization divided by that TOTAL basket, multiplied by 100. The unit is percent.

Constituents can change with rankings. A basket jump can involve a composition change as well as price or supply changes. Market capitalization is a valuation measure, not money deposited, available liquidity or trading volume.

6. The market pulse

The heatmap starts with TradingView’s crypto-coin universe. Color represents 24-hour price change. Tile area represents market capitalization unless the reader switches to equal-sized tiles. The data-table view exposes the provider’s crypto screener and its sorting controls. Coverage and observation status belong to that interface.

This is a market-data view, not a ranking of news, social attention or search interest. We do not calculate an opaque popularity score, label the largest mover a recommendation, or infer capital flows from a change in market capitalization.

7. Hosted data and availability

TradingView branding and source links remain visible. Each chart has a direct provider link for cases where scripts or data are unavailable. Some symbols or histories can be restricted by the provider. We do not substitute fabricated data or silently change the source venue to fill a blank chart.

The larger stablecoin-supply architecture remains a separate future integration. It requires a suitable data source, documented display rights, snapshot storage and explicit daily freshness rules. Those datasets are not implied by this release of hosted price and market-context charts.

8. From context to exchange

A market chart and an exchange quote do different jobs. The relevant exchange link takes you to a separate route page. Review the asset, network, amount, receive amount, costs and current requirements in its provider interface. The chart does not create an order or approve a wallet transfer.
