Two axes, total information
Horizontal — Market cap (log scale)
The field uses a logarithmic horizontal scale so a token at 50K, and a token at 5M. This is how a trader actually thinks about size — not in linear dollars, but in decades. A 10× move always crosses the same visual distance.
Vertical — Velocity (banded)
Vertical position reflects real-time market-cap velocity. A token climbing fast in MC drifts upward. A token cooling sinks back down. The bands are scaled so meaningful velocity (real momentum) crosses the visible field, while noise stays low.
The MC window: zoom that matches your strategy
The horizontal field has a window — a min and max market cap range that tokens get rendered within. You set this window:- Hunting fresh launches? Set the window narrow on the low end (50K). The whole field becomes early-stage tokens.
- Looking for breakouts? Window across the migration zone (500K). Watch tokens cross graduation thresholds.
- Following large moves? Window high (10M). The field becomes mid-cap action.
Reading formations
After a few sessions, certain patterns become unmistakable:The Wedge
The Wedge
Multiple tokens clustered tight on the left at high velocity. A wave of fresh launches hitting at once. Often a meta day.
The Migration
The Migration
A token sliding right and slightly upward — climbing in MC while sustaining velocity. Classic “honest run” formation. Doesn’t moon, doesn’t dump, but compounds.
The Vertical
The Vertical
A single token rocketing up the velocity axis without much horizontal travel. MC isn’t growing fast in absolute terms, but the climb rate is — early breakout.
The Cliff
The Cliff
A high-flier suddenly sinking through the velocity bands. Air coming out. If liquidity is also draining, a drain warning appears on the token.
The Cluster Burst
The Cluster Burst
Tightly grouped tokens all flashing simultaneously — coordinated buying, often a group rotation. Worth zooming in on the leader.
Glow, trail, motion — the visual language
| Cue | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bright flash | Fresh trade just hit. The bigger the flash, the bigger the trade. |
| Sustained glow | Steady recent activity — token is alive, not stale. |
| Smooth glide | Token’s position is updating from real metric flow, not a refresh. |
| Trailing path | Recent trajectory through the field. Long trails = sustained moves. |
| Cyan ring | Spotlight pick — algorithmic highlight worth a look. |
| Red ring | Risk flag — usually a drain warning or honeypot detection result. |
