The asset price chart tracks historical price performance to help you identify long term trends and correlations between global events and market movements. It provides a foundational perspective for comprehensive market analysis and allows for price comparison between the asset and BTC or between BTC and gold.
Methodology
Asset prices are calculated using an equally weighted average from the highest volume exchanges. If data is missing for a specific interval, a time-weighted average of the surrounding known price points is used to maintain data continuity.
This chart tracks the total value of all coins transferred across the network at a certain time, measured in US Dollars. It excludes "self-send" transactions (where coins are sent to the same wallet) to ensure data accuracy.
Why it matters
High USD transaction volume indicates that the asset is actively being used for commerce, trading, or institutional transfers. A rising trend in volume during a price increase confirms strong market demand, whereas a divergence (rising price on falling volume) can suggest that the upward trend lacks real support.
How to read the chart
  • Spiking Volume: High economic activity. This often occurs during periods of high volatility, major news events, or at the peak of bull/bear cycles.
  • Dwindling Volume: Low interest and low liquidity. This is common during sideways consolidation phases or late-stage bear markets, showing that retail and institutional participants have gone quiet.
Methodology
The transaction volume is derived by multiplying the transaction size (in tokens) by the asset's price at the moment of transfer for all transactions during that period. To ensure accuracy, "Self Send" transactions, where the sender and receiver are identical, are excluded.
The Transaction Volume Token graph represents the total volume of a transferred cryptocurrency in tokens during a period. The volume is calculated based on all transactions made during that period. Self-change (i.e. sending the remainder of a transaction to the originating address) is not included in the transaction volume. High transaction volumes may be caused by increased popularity, whale activity, events such as airdrops or panic/FOMO etc.
Methodology
The transaction volume token represents the total sum of tokens transferred in all transactions within a certain time frame. To ensure accuracy, "Self Send" transactions, where the sender and receiver are identical, are excluded from this calculation.
The Transaction Count shows how many transactions were made during a specific period for an asset. The transaction count is useful to determine network and asset usage, especially in combination with the volume charts. High transaction counts may indicate increased popularity for the asset.
  • Rising Trend: network activity is increasing, indicating increased popularity.
  • Falling Trend: network activity is decreasing, indicating lower popularity.
Methodology
The transaction count consists of the total number non-zero value transfers of an asset during a specific time range. Non-transfer transactions like mints and burns are excluded.
The Average Transaction Size USD graph provides a window into market composition. By monitoring the average value of each transaction, traders can distinguish between retail-led movements and major capital shifts. Large spikes often precede or accompany significant price volatility.
  • Rising Trend: average transaction sizes are increasing, suggesting greater institutional or whale participation.
  • Falling Trend: average transaction sizes are decreasing, suggesting the market is primarily driven by smaller retail activity.
Methodology
The Average Transaction Size in USD is calculated by multiplying the transaction volume amount in tokens with the price at the time of transaction for all transactions during a period of time and dividing the result with the total transaction count.
The average volume token graph shows the average transaction size in tokens for a certain period of time. It is useful for spotting whale activity which will show up as spikes in the graph.
Methodology
The average transaction size in tokens is calculated by adding up the total token amount transferred during a period of time and dividing the result with the transaction count for that period. This graph is useful for spotting potential whale activity which will show up as spikes in the graph.
The Average Buy Profit Ratio (ABPR) measures the ratio between the selling price of moved coins and the average purchase price (cost basis) of the sending wallets. It is a highly refined variation of the classic SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio).
Why it matters
Standard SOPR only looks at the single previous transaction price. ABPR is much more accurate because it calculates the actual average price at which wallets accumulated their coins over time. This gives you a true reading of seller profitability and overall market sentiment.
How to read the chart
  • Ratio > 1.0 (Above the Red Line): The average moved coin is being sold at a profit. In a strong bull market, the ratio staying consistently above 1.0 indicates healthy profit-taking support.
  • Ratio = 1.0 (On the Red Line): This is the break-even point. During bull market corrections, the ratio often dips to 1.0 and bounces back, as investors refuse to sell at a loss, turning break-even into a support level.
  • Ratio < 1.0 (Below the Red Line): The average moved coin is being sold at a loss. A prolonged ratio below 1.0 is typical of bear markets, showing capitulation and widespread market distress.
  • Holder Filters: Use the filters to switch between "Long-Term Holders" (investors holding >6 months) and "Short-Term Holders".
Methodology
The ABPR is calculated by summing the realized profit for every sending address (current price minus average buy price, multiplied by tokens transferred). This sum is then divided by the total value of all transferred tokens at the current price. The red line indicates the zero point at which the average sell price is equal to the average buy price.

The Potential Profit chart estimates the total "paper wealth" (unrealized profit or loss) currently held by all coin investors, showing the potential profits or losses if every holder were able to sell at today's market price.
Why it matters
Potential Profit is a powerful tool for spotting market tops and bottoms. When unrealized profits reach extreme highs, the temptation for investors to cash out becomes overwhelming, which historically triggers major sell-offs. Conversely, when unrealized profit drops near zero or goes negative, sellers are exhausted, and the market enters a low-risk accumulation phase.
How to read the chart
  • High Positive Values (Green Bars): The market is sitting on massive paper gains. Watch for potential trend reversals here, as profit-taking pressure builds up.
  • Negative Values (Red Bars): The aggregate market is in a net loss (underwater). Historically, prolonged periods in the negative zone represent the absolute bottom of bear markets—ideal times for long-term accumulation.
Methodology
To calculate the market value of the potential profit, every unique wallet address' current profit (current price minus the address' average buy price multiplied with the balance of the address) is aggregated. If P is the current market price and Pavg is the weighted average purchase price for a specific address holding Q tokens, the Potential Profit (PP) for that address is:
Further Reading
The Potential Profit per Token chart shows the average unrealized or "paper" profit or loss carried by each circulating coin.
Why it matters
While the total Potential Profit chart is influenced by the growing supply of a coin, this metric normalizes the data on a per-coin basis, which allows you to compare the profitability of different market cycles (e.g., comparing 2017 to 2021 and 2025) on an equal footing.
How to read the chart
  • High Positive Values (Green Bars): The market is sitting on massive paper gains. Watch for potential trend reversals here, as profit-taking pressure builds up.
  • Negative Values (Red Bars): The aggregate market is in a net loss (underwater). Historically, prolonged periods in the negative zone represent the absolute bottom of bear markets—ideal times for long-term accumulation.
The Potential Profit per Token graph illustrates the unrealized profit per available token in the market (USD) assuming a theoretical scenario where every holder sells at the current market price. A positive value indicates that the average token is being held at a profit, whereas a negative value indicates holding at a loss. Long periods of low profit or loss are typical for bear markets.
  • Rising Trend: holder profits are growing, strong growth may increase selling pressure.
  • Falling Trend: holder profits are declining, strong declines may trigger market panic.
Methodology
The Total Potential Profit per Token is derived by aggregating the potential profit of every individual token-holding address and dividing this by the total available supply. This is recalculated dynamically whenever an address balance changes. See the Potential Profit graph for an example calculation.

The Continuous HODL metric measures the average duration tokens remain within a wallet before being moved or sold. By using a balance-weighted calculation, this data emphasizes the behavior of "Whales" (large-scale holders) because their movements have a more significant impact on market liquidity and price stability.
  • Rising Trend: indicates a period of accumulation and conviction. Holders are retaining their assets, which often leads to reduced sell-side pressure.
  • Falling Trend: suggests distribution or profit-taking. Long-term investors are exiting their positions, potentially increasing the available supply on exchanges.
Methodology
The Continuous HODL value is derived from the weighted average duration, measured in seconds, that tokens stay at a specific address. If an address receives additional tokens, the average HODL time for that address decreases proportionally to the new balance. If the entire balance is transferred out, the HODL time for that specific address resets to zero. The global metric is the sum of all individual address durations weighted by their respective balances.
Further Reading
The Average Buy Price represents the estimated average USD cost per token at which all current holders acquired their tokens. This metric serves as a macro-level "cost basis" for the entire network.
  • Rising Trend: indicates that long-term holders are "averaging down" by buying more at lower prices, or that a significant wave of new buyers is entering the market at a lower valuation.
  • Falling Trend: suggests that the majority of market participants are accumulating tokens at higher prices, reflecting bullish sentiment or late-stage cycle entries.
Methodology
The Average Buy Price is calculated by determining the average price at which an addresses received its balance. Example: ff an address buys 1 BTC for $30,0000 USD and later ads 2 BTC for $50,0000, the average buy price is for per BTC is $43,333. If it transfers 1.6 BTC and later receives another 4 BTC for a price of $80,000, the average buy price becomes 1.4 times $43,333 plus 4 times $80,000 divided by 5.4 which equals $70,493 per BTC.

The Realized Profit metric tracks the net profit or loss locked in by investors over a specific period. It is a primary indicator of market sentiment with each bar representing the net profit realized during a specific period of time. High spikes in realized profit or loss can also serve as leading indicators for potential price volatility or trend reversals. This data is available for the general market, Short-Term Holders (under 6 months), and Long-Term Holders (over 6 months).
  • Positive Trend: indicates holders are selling at a profit, typically signaling a bull market.
  • Negative Trend: indicates holders are selling at a loss, often signaling a bear market or a period of capitulation.
Methodology
Realized Profit is calculated by taking the sum of the net profits made on transactions during a certain period of time. To determine the net profit of a transaction the average buy price of a sending addresses is subtracted from the price at the time of transaction and the result is multiplied by the transferred token amount.
Further Reading
This chart tracks the average dollar profit or loss locked in for each individual coin transferred during the selected period.
Why it matters
Standard realized profit can look massive simply because a large volume of coins was moved, even if the profit per coin was tiny. This metric filters out transaction volume to reveal the pure profit intensity of the coins being traded. It helps you see if the average seller is making massive gains per coin or just breaking even.
How to read the chart
  • Positive (Green) Bars: Show that holders are selling at a profit, typical of a bull market. Beware of extremely tall green spikes, as they indicate heavy profit-taking that can trigger price pullbacks.
  • Negative (Red) Bars: Show that holders are selling at a loss. Massive red spikes indicate capitulation (panic-selling by "weak hands"), which often exhausts sellers and sets the stage for a price rebound.
  • Holder Filters: Use the filters to switch between **Long-Term Holders** (experienced investors holding >6 months, whose cashing-out behavior marks macro peaks) and **Short-Term Holders** (new speculators who panic easily during minor drops).
Methodology
Realized Profit is calculated by taking the sum of the net profits made on transactions during a certain period of time. To determine the net profit of a transaction the average buy price of a sending addresses is subtracted from the price at the time of transaction and the result is multiplied by the transferred token amount.
Further Reading
The Realized HODL metric tracks the average age of tokens at the moment they are transacted. By analyzing how long a token was held before being moved, we can determine whether the current market activity is driven by short term speculators or long term investors.
  • High Values: indicate that "Old Coins" (tokens held for a long duration) are being moved or sold. This often happens during major price rallies as long term holders realize profits.
  • Low Values: suggests that the tokens being moved were recently acquired. This typically signals a period of accumulation or "HODL" behavior by long term investors, as they are not moving their older supply.
Methodology
The average HODL time for an address is calculated using the weighted average duration (in seconds) that tokens remain on an address without moving. If an address receives additional tokens, the average HODL time decreases and in case the full balance is transferred out, the HODL time resets to zero. The Realized HODL for a specific period is the total number of HODL time in seconds for all moving tokens, divided by the number of tokens moved.

The total supply of a cryptocurrency is influenced by pre-mines, mints, burns, mining rewards and fees. In the case of stablecoins a high supply suggests a more liquid market and strong increases in supply are generally considered to have a positive effect on prices. Large changes in supply can have strong effects on metrics such as HODL and ABP.
Further Reading
The Transaction Volume chart for stablecoins serves as a key indicator of market liquidity as they are essential for both centralized and decentralized exchanges. An increase in stablecoin volume might indicate that investors are hedging, but can also signal that new capital is entering the market. The transaction volume is expressed in USD value of the total amount of tokens transferred by all holders.
Further Reading
The Mints vs. Burns chart shows how many stablecoins were created or destroyed during a certain time period. Mints and burns influence the total supply of a coin and the overall sentiment is that mints have a positive effect on the overall cryptocurrency market as they increase liquidity. It is important to note that not all mints increase the total supply of a stable coin market wide; they can also be part of a "chain swap" in which stable coins are moved from one blockchain to another.
Further Reading
Mints are transactions in which new tokens of a cryptocurrency are created. In the case of stablecoins, mints can indicate a conversion of fiat USD to on-chain assets such as USDC and USDT. Large mints can have a positive effect on market sentiment and are generally considered to also have a positive influence on market liquidity.
Further Reading
Market capitalization, or "market cap," represents the total dollar value of an asset's circulating supply. Investors use this metric to compare the relative size and market dominance of different assets. Market cap fluctuates based on changes in either the asset price or the total supply.
Methodology
The market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the current asset price by its total circulating supply.
