Used right, bubbles, heatmaps, and dominance charts tell you **where** things are moving and **how broadly** they’re moving. That’s enough to decide whether to sit tight, rotate, or stand aside. --- ## Bubbles… the fastest scan **What it shows** - Size tracks market cap… bigger bubbles are larger assets. - Colour shows performance over your chosen window… green up, red down. - Some tools cluster by sector for quick theme reads. **How to use it** - Start with the **daily** view… flip to **weekly** to check if moves have legs. - Note **top winners and losers**… see if winners cluster by sector or theme. - Click a bubble to check volume, recent range, and whether the move is new or just mean reversion. **What to avoid** - FOMO on a bright-green microcap with thin volume. - Treating one green day as trend… always cross-check the weekly. --- ## Heatmaps… breadth in one look ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/1f/a8/1fa84cb8-a9d7-42fa-9a80-c94ebf166e86/content/images/2025/09/tradingview-coin-market-heatmap-2025-09-06_01.23.31.png) **What it shows** - A wall of tiles coloured by performance… often grouped by sectors or ecosystems. - Quick way to answer… is this a **market move** or just a handful of coins. **How to use it** - Scan **sector blocks**… are L2s green while DeFi is flat, or is it blanket green. - Compare **cap tiers**… are majors leading or only small caps moving. **What to avoid** - Overweighting thin sectors… a few tiny tiles can skew perception if you ignore market cap. --- ## Dominance… reading rotation ![a statue of a dragon on a stone surface](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1712979511892-5f1fdccac934?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=M3wxMTc3M3wwfDF8c2VhcmNofDh8fGRvbWluYW5jZXxlbnwwfHx8fDE3NTcxMDc0NTJ8MA&ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=80&w=2000) Photo by [Simon Hurry](https://unsplash.com/@bullterriere?ref=themarketsunplugged.com) / [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/?utm%5Fsource=ghost&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=api-credit) **What it shows** - BTC.D and ETH.D give the backdrop… rising BTC.D usually means alt headwinds… rising ETH.D often precedes broader alt participation. - Sector dominance helps gauge **where** flows are rotating… AI, DeFi, L2s, infra. **How to use it** - If **BTC.D is rising** and bubbles are mostly red for alts… stick to BTC or reduce alt risk. - If **ETH.D is turning up** and ETH pairs stabilise… plan for staged alt rotation, not a single-day flip. - Map this to your watchlist… favour sectors showing **breadth plus follow-through**. --- ## Your 5-minute daily workflow 1. [**Open bubbles (daily)**](https://www.themarketsunplugged.com/crypto-bubbles/)… mark top winners/losers and any sector clustering. 2. **Flip to weekly**… confirm if today’s leaders also lead on the week. 3. **Check heatmap breadth**… broad or narrow. 4. **Glance at BTC.D and ETH.D**… note direction vs yesterday. 5. **Decide action**… hold, rotate small size, or wait for confirmation. --- ## Risks and misreads - **Chasing single prints**… one bright bubble isn’t a trend. - **Ignoring dominance**… alt rallies under rising BTC.D often fade. - **Forgetting liquidity**… tiny caps move hardest but slip quickest; size accordingly. - **Timeframe mismatch**… don’t trade weekly conclusions off a 1-hour view. --- ## Mini FAQ **Which timeframe is best for bubbles?** Daily first… then weekly to confirm follow-through. **How does dominance help day to day?** It sets the backdrop… if BTC.D is rising, alt longs need tighter risk or smaller size. **What’s a simple invalidation for rotation?** If ETH.D stalls and BTC.D re-accelerates while your alt-sector heatmap turns mixed… step back and reassess. --- ## Resources - Your **Crypto Bubbles** explainer page for newcomers. - Member tool… [**Bubble Rotation Map**](https://www.themarketsunplugged.com/crypto-bubbles/) to track BTC.D, ETH.D, and sectors side by side. --- If this helped you get oriented… [join **Alpha Insider**](https://www.themarketsunplugged.com/membership/) for weekly rotation checklists, timing windows, and member videos. Less noise… clearer plans… better positioning. ---
