Bubble map
Frequently asked questions
A bubble map draws every coin as a circle. The circle's area is the coin's size — market capitalisation by default, or volume or fully diluted valuation if you switch — and its colour and the label inside show how far the price has moved over the chosen period: green for gains, red for losses, brighter for bigger moves.
Because the circles float freely rather than being packed into a grid, the map makes it easy to spot the handful of coins that are moving very differently from everything else.
Both show size and price change for the whole market at once. The heatmap packs the coins into rectangles that fill the screen, which makes it better for judging how much of the market is up or down. The bubble map gives each coin a circle, which makes it better for picking out individual outliers — a big bright bubble stands out immediately, and you can hover or tap it for details.
You can colour the bubbles by change over 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. Short windows show what is happening right now; the 7-day and 30-day views filter out intraday noise and show which coins have sustained a move. Switching between them and watching which bubbles keep their colour is a quick way to tell a trend from a spike.
Yes. The filter limits the map to coins that are up, coins that are down, or all of them, and you can also cap the map to the top 50, 75, 100, 250 or 500 assets by size. Combining a losers-only filter with a 7-day window, for example, shows exactly which parts of the market have been under sustained pressure.
The prices behind it are refreshed every minute, and the bubbles recolour and resize as they change. It works well as a live view left open on a second screen.
For fast pattern-spotting: which sectors are moving together, whether the largest coins are leading or lagging the rest, and which individual assets are outliers worth a closer look. A cluster of bright green mid-cap bubbles from the same sector is a rotation in progress; a single deep-red bubble in a green market usually has news behind it.
A bubble's colour tells you how far the price moved, not why or on how much volume. Small coins can show huge percentage moves on very little trading, and a coin with most of its supply unreleased will look far larger in the FDV view than in the market-cap view. Use the map to find what to investigate, then open the coin page for the volume, exchanges and history. Nothing on Coinmico is investment advice.
