Open it via the **Crypto** icon in the right-side panel navigation. | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ![Crypto Context Panel — Bitcoin](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/polymarkethelper/gitbook/main/.gitbook/assets/crypto-context.png) | ![Crypto Context Panel — Ethereum](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/polymarkethelper/gitbook/main/.gitbook/assets/crypto-context-2.png) | *** ## What the Panel Shows ### Price & Chart * Current price with % change * Inline price chart with timeframe selector * 24h high / low range * **ATH** — all-time high with date and current % distance from ATH ### Market Overview | Metric | Description | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Market Cap** | Total market capitalization | | **24h Volume** | Trading volume with activity indicator (normal / high / low) | | **Vol/MCap** | Volume-to-market-cap ratio — shows how actively the asset is being traded | ### Supply | Metric | Description | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Circulating %** | Visual bar showing what % of max supply is in circulation | | **Total Supply** | Current total tokens in existence | | **Max Supply** | Hard cap on total tokens (e.g., 21M for BTC) | | **FDV** | Fully Diluted Valuation — theoretical market cap if all tokens circulated | | **Dilution** | FDV ÷ Market Cap — how much potential supply inflation remains | ### Token Unlocks Visual bar showing what % of tokens have been unlocked, with the remaining locked amount. High locked % means future sell pressure when tokens vest — relevant for altcoin price target markets. ### Derivatives The derivatives section is where traders find their edge: | Metric | Description | | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Funding Rate** | 8-hour perpetual rate — negative means shorts pay longs (short squeeze pressure) | | **Open Interest** | Total value of open perpetual contracts with % change | | **Taker Buy/Sell** | Ratio of aggressive buy vs. sell orders (below 1.0 = sellers dominant) | | **Long/Short** | Visual bar showing % of all positions that are long vs. short | | **Top Traders** | Long/short split among the largest traders specifically | ### Sentiment | Metric | Description | | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Fear & Greed** | Score 0–100 with label: Extreme Fear / Fear / Neutral / Greed / Extreme Greed | | **BTC Dominance** | Bitcoin's share of total crypto market cap | | **Total Market Cap** | Combined crypto market cap with % change | *** ## How to Use It **For price target markets** (e.g., "Will BTC hit $100K by \[date]?"): 1. Check current price vs. target and ATH — calibrate how realistic the move is 2. Check **Fear & Greed** — extreme fear (0–24) often precedes reversals; extreme greed signals overheating 3. Look at the chart trend — is momentum aligned with the target direction? **For "will it pump/dump" markets:** 1. **Funding Rate**: strongly negative = shorts overloaded = short squeeze risk 2. **Long/Short ratio**: heavily skewed positioning can reverse violently 3. **Taker Buy/Sell** below 0.8 = sellers in control; above 1.2 = buyers driving **For market cap or dominance markets:** 1. Check **BTC DOM** and **Total MCAP** for broad market context 2. Track **FDV** and **Dilution** for altcoin markets where token unlocks create sell pressure *** ## Markets Where This Panel Activates * [Bitcoin, Ethereum, and major altcoin price markets](https://polymarket.com/crypto/bitcoin) * [Crypto market cap milestones](https://polymarket.com/crypto) * [BTC dominance markets](https://polymarket.com/crypto) * Any market involving a specific cryptocurrency or the broader crypto market --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://polyhelper.gitbook.io/polyhelper-docs/analytics-tools/crypto-context.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
