Breadth Charts
7 charts. Part of the chart reference.
Advance Decline Ratios
The daily share of tracked assets closing up.
Each day, what fraction of tracked assets closed higher? Smoothed over time this is the market's participation rate — rallies where 80% of assets advance are broad and healthy; rallies where 40% advance are narrow, carried by a few names.
Breadth divergences lead price: market highs made on deteriorating advance ratios (fewer and fewer assets participating) have historically preceded corrections — the crypto version of a classic equity-market signal.
Advance Decline Index (ADI)
The running sum of daily advances minus declines.
ADI accumulates each day's (advances − declines) into a single line — the market's cumulative participation. Rising ADI means most assets are winning most days, regardless of what the total market cap says.
Watch for divergence against price: total market cap making new highs while ADI trends down means the average coin is already in decline — distribution hiding behind a strong index. Convergent new highs in both are the confirmation signal.
Absolute Breadth Index (ABI)
The absolute gap between advances and declines — directionless market intensity.
ABI is |advances − declines|: how one-sided the day was, ignoring direction. High readings mean the market moved as one block (everything up or everything down); low readings mean an even, mixed tape.
Persistently high ABI marks macro-driven regimes — correlation ≈ 1 days cluster in crashes and manias. Low-ABI stretches are the stock-picker phases where individual assets trade on their own stories.
Coins Above/Below Moving Average
The percentage of tracked assets trading above their 20-week SMA.
The bull-market participation gauge: what share of assets sit above their own 20-week average — the same line the Bull Market Support Band is built on. Above ~80%: broad bull. Below ~20%: broad bear, and historically the washout zone where bottoms form.
This series turns before price at both extremes: bottoms show breadth improving while price still falls (fewer new lows), and tops show breadth decaying while price grinds higher on narrowing leadership.
Color-Coded MA Strength
Each asset's moving-average stack: green where the faster average is above the slower.
Four checks per asset — price above the 20-day, 20 above 50, 50 above 100, 100 above 200 — colored green when true. A full green row is a perfectly bullish MA stack; full red, a perfect downtrend.
The table reads as the market's trend X-ray: transitions matter more than states, and rows flipping from red to mixed to green in sequence trace new uptrends forming asset by asset.
Alts vs BTC
Altcoin prices measured in BTC, indexed — which alts actually hold their value against Bitcoin?
Every line is an alt's BTC-denominated price, indexed to 1.0 two years ago. Below 1.0: you'd hold more value in Bitcoin — the alt "bleeds." The USD chart flatters alts in bull markets; the BTC pair is the honest benchmark.
The sobering base rate: over multi-year windows, most alts bleed most of the time, with brief violent exceptions during alt seasons. This chart is the antidote to survivorship memory — and the toggles let you check any specific coin's verdict.
Correlation Coefficients
90-day return correlations between the top assets and the dollar index.
Pearson correlation of daily returns over the trailing 90 days, for the top tracked assets plus DXY. Red cells move together; blue cells move opposite. The BTC row is the one to read: how tightly is everything chained to Bitcoin right now?
Crypto's dirty secret is visible here — intra-crypto correlations usually sit at 0.6–0.9, so diversification across coins diversifies little. The DXY column shows the macro chain: strongly negative in Fed-driven regimes, near zero when crypto trades on its own news.
