Market Overview
Understand what is moving stocks, crypto, forex and the wider economy.
Market Pulse
five measured signals all marketsFive things that can actually be counted, reduced to one number. Read it first to see whether today is calm or stretched. A high score is not a signal to buy — it only says most of the measures agree right now.
Across 57 assets, the strongest reading is trend (40 of 57 above their 200-day line) and the weakest is risk appetite (crypto vs gold, today). Each of the five below is a count or a level — nothing here is an opinion about why.
What is moving markets
measured, not guessed all marketsThe largest measured moves, written as plain sentences. It tells you what moved, never why — a cause is a judgement we cannot prove, so we leave it out.
Every line is a figure from this page. We do not claim a news story caused a move — that is a judgement we cannot make honestly, so we leave it out.
Crypto sentiment
alternative.meA crowd-mood index from 0 to 100. Most useful read backwards: extreme greed tends to come before a pause, extreme fear before a bounce. It measures mood, not value.
Sentiment moves faster than anything it predicts. Read it as mood, not a signal.
Market breadth
todayHow many assets rose against how many fell. An index can climb while most of its members fall — breadth is how you catch that, and why a green headline can still be a weak day.
Counted across the 57 assets we track — not a market-wide census.
Cross-asset today
median moveThe middle move in each market, so one runaway asset cannot speak for the whole group. Use it to see which market is genuinely leading today.
The middle asset in each market, so one outlier cannot speak for the group.
Heatmap
size = win rate · colour = todayEvery asset at once. Size is how often a year of holding ended in profit; colour is today. The lesson is in the mismatch — a big tile in red has a strong long record and a bad day.
Biggest movers
todayToday’s extremes, both ways. Large moves are where risk actually lives, so this is worth a look before assuming a quiet market.
US sectors
SPDR sector ETFsWhich parts of the US market are leading. Money rotating between sectors often says more about what investors expect than the index level does.
Industrials leads today at +0.95%; Communication Services lags at -0.9%.
Crypto market health
CoinGeckoThe size and concentration of the whole crypto market. It shows whether money is consolidating into bitcoin or spreading out across smaller coins.
Bitcoin holds 58.6% of the market — money is concentrated in the largest coin rather than spread across smaller ones.
Currency strength
averaged across pairsEach currency averaged across all its pairs. A pair moving is two stories at once — this separates them, so you can see which side actually did the moving.
How each currency did against every other one we can read today, averaged.
By region
headline index eachOne headline index per region. Markets do not move together, and where they diverge is usually where something specific is happening.
Each region stands for its headline index, not every listed company in it.
Trading sessions
13:02 UTCWhich markets are open right now. Volume and volatility follow the sessions, so a quiet hour is quiet for a reason — and a gap often lands when one opens.
Currency markets are busiest when London and New York overlap.
How they move together
90 daysCorrelation over 90 days. Two assets that move together are one bet, not two — this is how you notice you are less diversified than you thought.
S&P 500 and Nasdaq are the closest pair right now (strong positive). +1 means they move together, −1 means opposite, 0 means they barely relate.
The economy behind it
US · FREDThe slow numbers underneath the fast ones. Rates and inflation set the conditions every market above is trading inside.

Figures already published. We do not show a calendar of what is coming — there is no free source we can verify, and a forecast column we invented would be worse than a gap.

Currencies read differently. A pair near 100% is not a good investment — it means the second currency lost value against the first, year after year.

Where today sits
Every reading we can measure
Each one is worked out from this asset's own daily highs, lows, closes and volume. The first line explains what the indicator is; the second says what it reads today.
These are descriptions of past price, not predictions. Most of them share the same inputs, so when a lot of them agree that is one opinion repeated, not many opinions. Nothing here is advice to buy or sell.
