The crypto market regime, before the individual charts.

Trend regime, segment by segment

One score per segment, from −100 to +100, averaged from the trend score of every pair in it across the 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, daily and weekly timeframes. Splitting dollar-quoted spot, bitcoin-quoted spot and perpetuals matters because they routinely disagree, and the disagreement is the signal.

A mixed regime is not a broken one: it means the timeframes point different ways — typically a short-term bounce inside a longer downtrend, or the reverse. The Trend Scanner breaks the same scores out coin by coin and timeframe by timeframe when you want to see which side of that split a specific pair is on.

Breadth, and the cash behind it

Two slow readings that a daily chart cannot give you: how many large alts are actually beating bitcoin, and whether the stablecoin pool funding all of this is growing or draining.

Regime tells you how to size. Alerts tell you when.

Knowing the market is risk-off with a crowded long book does not tell you which coin breaks first. Arm the level, the percentage move or the funding extreme you care about, and CoinBeacon messages you when it happens — while you are reading something else.

How to read a regime

01

Direction and risk are two different axes

Where price is going and how leveraged the move is answer separate questions, and they often disagree. Falling prices with longs still paying funding means the flush is unfinished; falling prices with shorts paying means it already happened. Same direction, opposite trade.

02

Dominance decides whether alts are even the game

In a rising-dominance regime, alt breakouts fail more often than they run, because capital keeps draining toward BTC. Check dominance and the bitcoin-quoted segment score before you spend a week hunting altcoin entries.

03

Breadth separates a rotation from a headline

A handful of coins running is a story. Half the top 50 beating bitcoin over 90 days is a regime. The first fades when attention moves on; the second keeps paying laggards for weeks.

04

Sentiment is background, not a trigger

Fear & Greed moves about once a day. It is worth knowing where the mood sits before you read anything else, and worth ignoring entirely as a reason to click. The triggers live on the boards, one layer down.

Questions

What does market regime mean in crypto?

Regime is the condition you are trading in, not a forecast. It combines direction — where capital is moving — with how leveraged and how crowded the market is while it moves. The same breakout is a different trade in a broad, lightly positioned market than in a narrow one where longs are already paying heavily to stay in.

Is the crypto market risk-on or risk-off right now?

Read the three numbers on this page together rather than one at a time: total market cap and its 24-hour change give direction, the Fear & Greed reading gives mood, and the market-wide funding average tells you which side is paying to hold. When direction and positioning disagree — falling prices with longs still paying — the market has not finished repositioning yet.

What does BTC dominance tell you that the bitcoin price does not?

Dominance is bitcoin's share of total crypto market cap, so it measures rotation rather than price. Rising dominance usually means capital moving out of altcoins and into BTC; falling dominance while the total market holds up is the classic alt-rotation tell. Bitcoin can rise and lose dominance in the same day.

Is the Fear & Greed index useful on its own?

Not really. It updates roughly once a day, so it describes background mood rather than the current session, and it reads as a contrarian gauge about as often as a confirming one. It becomes useful next to positioning: fearful sentiment with a still-crowded long book is a very different market from the same fear reading after everyone has been flushed out.

How is altseason breadth measured here?

Of the top 50 coins by market cap — stablecoins and bitcoin excluded, since a peg cannot beat BTC — this counts how many outperformed bitcoin over the last 90 days. A high share means capital has been rotating into alts for months, not just this morning. It is a slow, structural reading, deliberately.

What does the market-wide average funding rate say about positioning?

It is the average perpetual funding rate across the futures venues CoinBeacon tracks, normalised to one 8-hour payment. Positive means longs are paying shorts to keep their positions open, which marks a crowded long side; negative means shorts are paying. Crowded is not the same as wrong, but it does say which direction has more fuel for a squeeze.

Why watch stablecoin supply?

Aggregate USD-pegged stablecoin supply is the cash sitting inside crypto, and its 7-day change shows whether that pool is growing or draining. Traders read expansion as dry powder arriving and contraction as capital leaving the system — context for whether a rally has anything behind it, not a timing signal.

Do I need an account, and how fresh are these numbers?

No account. Every reading on this page is public, and the same command center is browsable in the app without signing up. Market cap, dominance and Fear & Greed refresh on a roughly 10-minute cycle — Fear & Greed itself only moves about once a day — while the trend-regime scores and funding average recompute continuously. A free account adds the alerts: 5 active alerts and 10 notifications a day, delivered to email, Telegram, Discord or a webhook.
