# The Spatial Feed
A token's position on the Pump Zone field is not decoration. It is the data.
## Two axes, total information
The field uses a logarithmic horizontal scale so a token at 5K is visually distant from a token at 50K, and a token at 500K is distant from 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 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 (1K–50K). The whole field becomes early-stage tokens.
* **Looking for breakouts?** Window across the migration zone (30K–500K). Watch tokens cross graduation thresholds.
* **Following large moves?** Window high (500K–10M). The field becomes mid-cap action.
Tokens outside the window aren't deleted — they get **squished** to the edges with reduced visual weight. You still see them, just de-prioritised. Tokens inside the window expand into the full field.
This means you can study one segment of the market intensely without losing peripheral awareness of the rest.
## Reading formations
After a few sessions, certain patterns become unmistakable:
Multiple tokens clustered tight on the left at high velocity. A wave of fresh launches hitting at once. Often a meta day.
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.
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.
A high-flier suddenly sinking through the velocity bands. Air coming out. If liquidity is also draining, a [drain warning](/safety/liquidity-drain-detection) appears on the token.
Tightly grouped tokens all flashing simultaneously — coordinated buying, often a group rotation. Worth zooming in on the leader.
You will not be told to memorise these. You will *learn them* by spending an hour on the field. That is the design.
## 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](/safety/liquidity-drain-detection) or honeypot detection result. |
You don't have to memorise the table. The cues are tuned so the right ones grab your attention without effort.
## Performance: how this scales
The field is rendered on a high-performance canvas — not as DOM elements. That's why hundreds of active tokens can move smoothly on the same frame without pinning your CPU. Updates are coalesced and only redraw regions that changed.
Translation: you can keep the Pump Zone open in a tab all day on a laptop and your fans don't spin up.
## Switching to list mode
If you want to do analyst work on a specific token — read every trade, draw on a 5-minute candle, compare exit prices — switch into [Sniper List mode](/pump-zone/sniper-list-vs-pump-zone) at any time. Same data, table view, charts inline. Pump Zone for discovery, Sniper List for analysis.
