About this heatmap
- What is the Bitcoin heatmap?
- This site turns Bitcoin's entire price history into heat maps. The monthly calendar shows every month's return since 2011, the daily grid shows the last year day by day, the price ladder shows how long BTC traded inside each price band, and the Fear & Greed calendar maps market sentiment since 2018.
- How do I read the monthly returns calendar?
- Each row is a year and each column a calendar month. Blue cells are months where Bitcoin closed higher than it opened, red cells are losing months, and the deeper the color the bigger the move. The right-hand column shows each year's total return and the bottom row shows the average return of each calendar month — a quick view of Bitcoin's seasonality.
- Where does the data come from and how often is it updated?
- Historical daily prices come from public Bitcoin market records dating back to 2010. Live prices, market capitalization, dominance, liquidations and the Fear & Greed index are aggregated from major exchanges and refreshed every few minutes. Empty cells mean no data was available for that period.
- Which months are historically best and worst for Bitcoin?
- The bottom row of the calendar answers this from real data rather than folklore: it averages every January, February and so on across all years. Seasonality shifts over time, so past monthly averages are a lens on history, not a prediction.
