Crypto Context Panel

Stop bouncing between CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. Crypto Context brings all the data you need to trade crypto markets — price, supply, derivatives, sentiment — directly inside Polymarket.

Open it via the Crypto icon in the right-side panel navigation.

Crypto Context Panel — Bitcoin

Crypto Context Panel — Ethereum


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
