Chart Comparison
What it shows
A comparison of price performance for up to 5 cryptocurrencies on one chart. Each line is normalized to a percentage change from a shared start (0%), so you see pure relative strength rather than nominal price differences. Lines can be toggled on/off and the time range changed.
How to read it
Watch the order and spacing of the lines, not their nominal height. Everything starts at 0%, so what matters is who leads and by how much. Comparing alts to BTC reveals relative strength: an alt above BTC in a window is outperformance, below BTC is weakness. Change the time range to tell a momentary spike from a durable trend. Practical takeaway: look for coins that hold their lead over the benchmark across multiple ranges, as that signals more durable strength rather than a one-off pop.
Parameters
- Normalized Change (%)
- Each coin's percentage gain/loss measured from a shared 0% start point.
- Positive reading: A line clearly above zero and above the rest: the strongest performer in the window.
- Negative reading: A line below zero and below the rest: the weakest relative performer in the window.
- Neutral reading: A line near zero: flat performance, no clear edge or loss.
- Relative Strength
- Which coin leads and which lags (the gap between lines shows the divergence).
- Positive reading: Your watched coin consistently above the benchmark (e.g. BTC), which means relative outperformance.
- Negative reading: Watched coin consistently below the benchmark, which means relative weakness despite any gains.
- Neutral reading: Lines intertwined and crossing: no durable leader in this window.
- Time Range
- The comparison window (1h, 24h, 7d, 30d): changes the 0% normalization start.
- Neutral reading: A 24h leader can be a 30d laggard. Always check performance across several ranges.
Example
On 7d: SOL +18%, ETH +6%, BTC +4%. SOL leads by a wide margin (relative strength). But switch to 30d and SOL is -5% while BTC is +12%. This is a short-term bounce that doesn't change the weaker medium-term trend.
