Charts — 67 crypto charts across three markets

Futures, options and macro on one streaming canvas. Every chart ships with a plain-English READING footer that tells you what the data is saying right now — not just what it shows.

FOCSAL Charts module showing crypto futures, options and macro charts with plain-English reading interpretation footers
Charts — futures, options and macro on one tab

Why it exists

Most traders read charts across three or four different services — one for futures price and open interest, another for the options surface, another for macro context — and none of them tell you what the data actually means. You're left to interpret raw lines yourself, on every chart, every time.

FOCSAL Charts puts all 67 charts on one tab and adds a READING footer under each one: plain English on what the chart is saying at this moment. Funding overheated? The footer tells you. CVD diverging? The footer tells you. Yield curve inverting? The footer tells you.

How it works

Every chart reads from one streaming layer — the same data that powers the rest of the platform — so nothing is computed on the fly and nothing drifts between modules. Hot assets update every five seconds, and if one venue goes down the feed fails over across five exchanges so your screen stays live.

The READING footer under each chart is generated by the same rule engine that feeds Market Intelligence and the AI Analyst. That means the interpretation you read on a chart is the exact signal the rest of the system acts on — one source of truth, no contradictions.

Part of the operating system

Charts is the research and monitoring layer. When a footer flags something worth acting on — a CVD divergence, a short-gamma regime, an inverting curve — you move into the deep-dive modules: Order Flow for tick-level detail, Options Map for the full gamma surface, Market Intelligence for the combined verdict. Same data underneath, no switching tools.

Common questions

What charts does FOCSAL include for crypto futures?

Fifteen futures charts across five categories: Price & Volume, Open Interest, Funding & Basis, Order Flow (with CVD divergence detection) and Liquidations — all multi-venue with live streaming.

What options charts are available for BTC and ETH?

Twenty-four options charts sourced from Deribit: expiry structure, strike profile, nine volatility charts (IV, 25-delta skew, term structure, IV/RV, GEX regime, butterfly, probability above strike), flow & sentiment, signed gamma by strike, and max pain with gamma-flip levels.

Does FOCSAL show macro charts like the Fed balance sheet and yield curve?

Yes — 28 FRED series across Net Liquidity (Fed balance sheet, reserves, reverse repo, TGA, M2), rates and yields, credit spreads, inflation, labor, dollar/FX and markets including the S&P 500 and VIX.

What is a CVD divergence chart?

It compares cumulative volume delta on spot against perpetuals. When spot distributes while perps push price up, larger players may be selling into retail demand — FOCSAL flags these events automatically.
