Whale Heatmap
What it shows
A heatmap of whale activity broken down by day of week (Monday–Sunday) over the last 90 days. Each bar shows how many whale transactions (>$1M) fall on that weekday, and the color intensity signals when big money is most active. It highlights the peak day and the total activity.
How to read it
The map answers „when”, not „which way”: it reveals the weekly rhythm of whale activity but not whether the moves are bullish or bearish. Look for clear color clusters; if activity consistently concentrates on certain days, those are your windows for heightened market watching. Practical takeaway: pair the peak day with flow direction from the other whale widgets to understand not just when, but what big money was doing.
Parameters
- Daily activity (color and bar length)
- The number of whale transactions falling on a given weekday; warmer color = more activity.
- Positive reading: A red / orange bar: a day of intense big-money activity.
- Neutral reading: A blue or pale bar: a calm day with few whale moves.
- Peak day
- The weekday with the highest total number of whale transactions in the period.
- Neutral reading: Shows the activity rhythm, meaning when whales act most often, which provides context for planning when to watch.
- Total (activity sum)
- The total number of whale transactions across all days of the full 90-day window.
- Neutral reading: A context value: shows the overall scale of activity, for comparing across periods.
Example
Tuesday and Wednesday bars glow red with ~900 transactions each, while the weekend is pale (~150). The peak falls on Tuesday. This says big money moves mostly mid-week. Those are the times to watch flow direction more closely, and to treat the quiet weekend as a low-activity backdrop.
