Pulse — the whole crypto market on one screen

The first screen you open. Seven market layers in one grid — macro, volatility, dealer positioning, funding, liquidations, institutional flow and ETF capital — read in about ten seconds, refreshed every thirty.

Pulse — the day’s market state at a glance

Why it exists

Reading the crypto market usually means opening five or six things at once — one tab for macro, another for options volatility, another for funding, another for institutional positioning — then stitching them together in your head before you do anything. By the time you have the full picture, the moment has often moved.

Pulse collapses that ritual into a single view. Instead of switching between screens to ask “what’s the market actually doing right now?”, you open one tab and the answer is already framed for you — in plain language, not raw numbers.

What you get

Four one-word verdict tiles set the tone the instant the page loads — deliberately interpretation, not metrics you have to decode:

Underneath them, the full picture — every layer with the concrete data behind it:

7
Market layers, one grid
Macro, options volatility, dealer positioning, funding, liquidations, institutional flow and ETF capital — unified.
30s
Live refresh
The whole board updates every thirty seconds, automatically pausing when the tab is in the background.
4
Macro signals from TradFi
DXY, VIX, Fed balance sheet and BTC dominance — each with a 30-point trend sparkline for instant context.
7
Movement classifications
Every mover labelled by price + open-interest behaviour — long-driven, short squeeze, distribution, cascade and more.
4
Funding venues compared
Cross-venue funding for BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP — with divergence flagged when leverage hides on one exchange.
GEX
Dealer gamma profile
An institutional-grade net-gamma curve showing where market makers are forced to hedge — built in, no extra tool.

How it reads the market

Pulse layers together what professional desks watch separately. Macro context (DXY, VIX, Fed balance sheet, BTC dominance) tells you what traditional finance is doing right now. Volatility regime compares implied against 30-day realized to tell you whether options are cheap or expensive. Funding pressure across four venues shows where retail leverage is hiding — and where it diverges between exchanges.

Then the slower, heavier signals: institutional positioning from weekly CFTC reports for BTC and ETH, spot ETF flows showing where TradFi capital is allocating, and liquidation cascades that flag when forced sellers are flushing the market. Each carries a freshness indicator, so you always know how current the read is.

Designed to be read, not decoded

Every tile leads with a one-word interpretation and a short subtitle explaining what it measures. The numbers are there when you want them — but the first glance is meant to be an answer, not homework.

Part of the operating system

Pulse isn’t a standalone dashboard — it’s the framing layer for everything else. It points you where to look, then hands off to the deep-dive modules: a short-gamma read sends you into Options Map, a liquidation cluster into Liquidity Map, an institutional shift into Smart Money. Same data foundation underneath, no switching between platforms.
