Understanding the Crypto Market
The cryptocurrency market runs 24/7, 365 days a year. Unlike traditional stock markets that close at 4 PM, crypto never sleeps. That means prices, sentiment, and trends shift constantly. This dashboard gives you a quick snapshot of where things stand right now.
Total market cap measures the combined value of all cryptocurrencies. When it's rising, money is flowing in. When it's dropping, capital is leaving. It's the simplest health check for the entire space.
Bitcoin dominance tells you how much of the total market belongs to BTC. When dominance rises, Bitcoin is outperforming altcoins. When it falls, money is rotating into smaller projects. It's a key signal for deciding whether to hold BTC or explore altcoins.
The Fear and Greed Index captures market emotion on a 0-100 scale. Extreme fear often signals buying opportunities, while extreme greed can mean a correction is coming. It's a contrarian indicator that experienced traders watch closely.
