The short answer

The 13 market readings this site tracks, live, each one with a page explaining what it measures, how it is calculated, how to read it and what it cannot tell you. Dominance, sentiment, the dollar and the market totals. Free, and nothing here predicts anything.

Live now

Every meter, and what each one is for

Each tile links to the page behind it. Two of these, the dollar index and the alt season reading, are computed here rather than taken from a feed, and both pages print the arithmetic.

Reading them together

One dial is a number, two are an argument

If you seeWhat the pair is telling you
TOTAL rising, dominance risingThe move is Bitcoin. TOTAL2 will be flat, and that is the same fact said twice.
TOTAL2 rising, TOTAL3 flatThe move is Ethereum rather than the broad market. This is exactly what TOTAL3 exists to separate.
Alt season high, dominance fallingBroad participation. Historically these readings have come late in a run rather than early, which is the opposite of how they are usually used.
Stablecoin share rising while TOTAL fallsCapital moving to the sidelines rather than leaving. It is also what a shrinking denominator looks like, so check whether stablecoin supply actually grew.
Dollar index rising sharply, fear and greed fallingTightening dollar conditions arriving in risk assets. The relationship is loose and lagging, and it breaks for months at a time.
