What's new

Every page, series, fix and correction we ship, newest first. This list is written by the build itself — one line per change — and a line appears only once the page it points at is live.

pages: 111rows: 2,475updated: 23 Oct 2026

A row is one named series drawn on a page — most pages draw several. A correction means a number we had published was wrong: it is labelled, never quietly replaced.

• fixThe hourly loupe now opens from the chart: click a day, or pick a datev4.137the hour-by-hour loupe now opens from the chart — on «max», click or tap a day, or type a date
• new pagePricing: questions to the agent, what we hold at a glance, and the Desk recordv4.136Each plan now says how many questions the agent answers: Free 3 a day, or 10 a day signed in with your email (it was 3), Tape 100 a month, Desk 500 a month; a deeper answer counts as three. A strip under the heading shows what we hold today: Hyperliquid wallets, Bybit's whole board, US spot ETF flows fund by fund. Desk shows its API key on its own line and that the record keeps going. Prices are unchanged.
• new pageHyperliquid board: how much of the venue's money each pass coversv4.135The Hyperliquid liquidation board now states its reach in money: each view says what share of all open money on the venue the latest pass covers and how many wallets have a bet open there, both read from the latest data. The every-market page counts the wallets with a bet open. The time the pass ended and how often a new one lands stay on every view.
• new pagePricing: what each plan opens, in plain words, with a proof under every linev4.134The pricing page opens each plan with its main pages: the Hyperliquid liquidation board, exchange arrivals (each closed day on Free, hour by hour on Tape) and spot ETF flows fund by fund. One headline says it: Free by the day, Tape by the hour, Desk adds minutes and files. Every line keeps its proof link with the number from the same build. The download door says what Desk opens. Prices and plans are unchanged.
• correctionETF flows by issuer: the headline is every fund added up, as its caption saysv4.131The by-issuer ETF page opened on the biggest fund’s running total under a caption that read like all of the funds. The headline is now every fund added up since launch, for bitcoin and for ether, and it says so; the fund lines stay under it, and the share cards carry the same number and words. The explainer no longer calls the biggest fund’s total a part of the net when it is larger than the net.

• dataExchange arrivals: by day, by hour, and how many we see before the blockv4.128The arrivals page opens on the latest closed UTC day in our data (Oct-21 2026: 20,982.49 BTC in 4,045 arrivals) with a 13-day chart; views by day (free), by hour (Tape), live (Desk). Oct-15 to Oct-21, 24,874 of 25,026 (99.4%) were in the mempool before their block, median lead 7.5 min. Each count and BTC sum opens its transactions; a new block says what we don't see. Binance is preliminary until our sweep check ends.
• correctionHyperliquid liquidations: the board says how often it moves and how much it holdsv4.127The three views of the Hyperliquid board stop saying “rebuilt hourly” and “snapshot”: they name the latest pass and how often a new one lands, from the board’s own pass history. The coverage line gives the share of all open money on Hyperliquid held by the wallets in that pass. Link previews carry the board number and the pass time; the entries view prints its archive-frame date once.
• correctionExchange flows: map correction, four desk addresses out, ten re-attributedv4.126Four market-making desk addresses leave the Coinbase and Bitstamp maps and ten addresses move from Coinbase to OKX, Bybit and Gemini; every arrival and departure series is recomputed from 2022 by the same rule. Oct-20 2026 arrivals, all mapped exchanges: 19,335.05 BTC (was 20,377.18); the last 30 full days come out 3.5% lower, Coinbase 9.4%. Days after Oct-21 04:25Z keep the old map until the collector gets it.
• correctionHyperliquid liquidations: the population view draws the board ladderv4.125The population page (entries and addresses) now draws the same ladder as the map: the board’s latest pass, the exact layer from the exchange and the rest from the archive frame, stamped with the pass time; who holds the bets sits under the chart, headed by the date of its archive frame. The map drops the “all together” brackets, and both pages drop the old poller’s words.
• correctionHyperliquid liquidations: the link preview carries the board numberv4.124The link preview (the picture X and Telegram draw under a link) for the heatmap, map and population pages now carries the board’s own number — the forced selling if BTC falls up to 15%, with the pass it came from. Before, the preview showed the old view card: a view title, two “all together” brackets and a footer with a cadence. Nothing on the pages themselves changed.

• correctionExchange flows: the hours do not yet equal the daily bars, and the pages now say sov4.121Two pages said our hourly exchange flows, summed by day, are exactly the daily netflow bars, and called a 5,633 BTC gap floating-point noise. That was wrong: on 2026-10-10 the daily bars were recomputed back to 2022 with a revised address map (Indodax added, Korbit's address set expanded) and the hourly history was not. Both pages now print how many days differ, the largest gap with its date, and why.
• fixEvery page now says what this site is and is notv4.120A one-line statement at the bottom of every page: an independent market-data site, not an exchange and not affiliated with any exchange; we never ask for exchange keys, wallet seed phrases or passwords. Exchange names on our pages are the sources of the public data we chart, nothing more.
• fixHyperliquid population map: the ladder line now compares against the coin's whole framev4.119Under the chart, the line «on this ladder: N of M positions ($X of $Y)» showed the ladder total twice. Y is now the coin's whole frame (both sides). Each coin's data file carries that value and the page reads it from there; a new check confirms every coin file has it and that it matches the summary.
• fixSingle-coin page: the legend bar stays with the chartv4.118On the single-coin page the legend bar above the chart ran the full width of the column and its background showed through under the right-hand panel. It is now as wide as the chart.
• fixHyperliquid population map: only perps in the coin list, and who holds the moneyv4.117Outcome markets (the #-numbered binary markets) are not perpetuals: no funding, no liquidation ladder. They are now left out of the map, the coin picker and the counters, and reported in one line. Under the ladder the page now says how the money is spread across addresses and how much of the exchange's published open interest this frame holds, per coin. The catalog number is now the page's own hero number.

• new pageHyperliquid: the full population map, every open position on one liquidation ladderv4.116A new daily page reads the whole Hyperliquid population at the funding hour and lays every open position's liquidation level on one price ladder. Cross-margin levels are marked approximate, isolated ones exact (the formula is verified against the exchange), and a wallet whose balance does not reconcile carries a warning. Coverage and the as-of hour come from the data itself.
• fixThermometer card: latest value of the ranked series, bar answers hover and tapv4.115On pages whose headline is a snapshot of another series (bitcoin held by companies, for one), the thermometer card now prints the latest value of the series it ranks, with its date, instead of repeating the headline number. The bar answers hover and tap on every page again, including pages with context cards where it had gone silent; a tap pins the plate, and the thin markers got a finger-sized tap zone.
• dataMiner flows now reach back to October 2020v4.114The first-hop series now starts on 2020-10-02: the five years before our own node's horizon were read once from a public chain archive with the same 264 payout addresses and checked against our node on 2,000 shared blocks, event for event. Our own node carries it from 2025-10-25; the seam is drawn. The address list is today's, so older years catch fewer blocks: the control line shows the share caught each day.
• fixFive walkthrough fixes: cursor plate, gold Tape card, thermometer, expiry axis, panelv4.113One build, five fixes from the walkthrough: the cursor plate names the bar under it on every chart; the Tape card is the same gold card everywhere and daily charts open on three years; the thermometer follows the shown series and ranks every age band; by-expiry option views sign each bar with its expiry; the bottom panel sits flush under the chart column.
• fixCursor plate on every chart: date, series values, Y markv4.113Hover shows a plate at the cursor on multi-series bars and by-expiry views: date or expiry and every visible series value. The Y mark is the bar under the cursor, not the mouse. The running day names its BTC price with the snapshot hour.

• correctionBitcoin against ether: bitcoin's cap now from our own ledgerv4.112The two-coin dominance line now takes bitcoin's market cap from our own ledger (every unspent coin we keep count of, times the daily close we publish) instead of a third-party chart that stopped updating on October 14. Ether's cap stays a credited public count. Checked against the old line over 3,347 shared days: median gap 0.39 percent.
• dataCycle clock: cycles read off the tape back to 2010, the 2011 cycle joinsv4.111The cycle clock now finds cycles on the tape by one rule (a record close not beaten for over a year), on daily closes from July 2010: Mt.Gox, then Bitstamp. That adds the 2011 cycle: four completed cycles, not three. Lows came 163 to 406 days after the record (was 364 to 406); the three since the first halving: 364 to 406. The window widens from Oct-05 → Nov-16 2026 to Mar-18 → Nov-16 2026.
• correctionHalving clock: four completed clocks, log scale by default, the price source namedv4.110Daily closes now reach back to July 2010, so the 2012 window is complete and the clock shows four past halvings. The low of each run-up is the lowest close after the previous cycle top, the last record close the market then halved from: 376 days before the 2012 halving, 542, 513 and 516 before 2016, 2020 and 2024. The chart opens on a log scale when the window spans more than 16x.
• fixAsk the tape: premium gloss now survives the buildv4.109The premium gloss line about USDT pairs now lives in the source that rebuilds the ask cards, so it stays after every build tick. Empty or emoji-only questions still get a short hint without spending a quota; a failed retry logs both calls and keeps the better answer.
• fixAsk the tape: a chat holds 10 questions, then a New chat buttonv4.107Each chat holds 10 questions with a visible count and an always-on New chat button. The count survives page reloads; on a full chat the input locks until you start a new chat.

• dataPrice history now starts July 2010 (Mt.Gox daily tape) on every comparison line and rulerv4.108Every comparison line and ruler now draws bitcoin's price from July 2010: Mt.Gox daily tape through May 2013, then Bitstamp. Before this, those 72 pages started at 2013-06-01.
• fixAsk the tape remembers the conversationv4.104Follow-up questions such as "is that a coin flip?" or "and over 30 days?" are now answered with the previous turns in view: the last four messages of the chat go to the model, each trimmed to 1,200 characters. A second fix on the same path: after three tool calls the model used to lose the question itself and reply that your message came through empty; that cut is gone.
• fixAsk the tape: quick answers on paid plans get the same safety netv4.103On Tape and Desk without 'deeper', a quick answer that misses the question, switches language or drops the 'what followed' numbers is redone by the deeper model, at no extra count against your questions. The page link and the 'where to look next' line now follow the reader's language, and a mistyped series name in a history check returns the valid names instead of a dead end.
• fixAsk the tape now answers 'what happened after…' from the site's own historyv4.102Ask about a condition — three ETF inflows, funding below zero, a ruler extreme — and see every past case and what bitcoin did after, vs an ordinary week. Every pattern comes with an honest check: how often random dates look just as different. Links in answers are clickable, and Tape and Desk answers include today's hourly value. r4: D21 тариф в ToolStore · D22 гард пустого ответа · D23 правила 11/12
• fixLighter chart engine, same behaviourv4.101Two charts that live on one page each (transactions per day, the Hyperliquid liquidation heatmap) now load their drawing code only on their own page; every other page downloads about five kilobytes less. Nothing changes in what the pages show.

• dataHourly loupe: look at a day hour by hourv4.99Open any day on the hourly charts and step through it week by week, month by month or a quarter at a time; the overview shows the range, details load on demand.
• fixCharts say when a piece is missing instead of guessing a datev4.98If a chart page or its data file is not there, the freshness check names the page and the reason instead of inventing a year-2000 lag; a failed hourly tick now sends one alert and says the site may be partial.
• new pageExchange arrivals · live for Deskv4.97A live Desk window of transfers pending at the exchanges we map: last 15 minutes, hour and day, minute-by-minute bars and the pending table. The page itself shows the lock and the last closed day.
• fixPricing page knows your planv4.96The pricing page shows which plan you are on from your account: badge on your card, manage in your account, upgrades and included items named; an ended plan shows only a past date; Enterprise marks its own card.
• dataLiquidations: 12 exchanges in the daily totalv4.95The all-exchange liquidation total now adds Gate, Bitget, HTX, Deribit and Kraken Futures to the seven venues already counted; the hourly roll-up refreshes it.

• dataHourly history deepened on four pagesv4.94Hourly max history for cvd, taker-flow-21-coins, exchange-flows-by-hour and open-interest-by-exchange now reaches back to files we already hold: Binance archive 2019-09-08, our own flows file 2022-01-01, Bybit archive 2025-02-20. New Binance-only keys on taker-flow.
• fixEvery hour we hold on Tape; deep pages metered; links open the right seriesv4.93HDEEP2R rebase of HDEEP-2 v4 onto chain 18: Tape sells «every hour we hold» on all hourly charts; T04/V12/billing tape.line without the «400 days» ceiling (operator word 16.10) · WIN16 adds HDQUOTA (12 deep pages a day per Tape account, up to 3 new deep pages a minute, honest 429) and LINKFIX (?ser= / ?coin= in a link open that series or coin on every page, as #ser= already did)

• fixCalendar ask passports and 2-digit validation stats in prosev4.92Calendar pages carry the ask passport carrier (run.ask.json) next to their Tape part; validation statistics in page prose (r, slope, corr) print two decimals so a correlation like 0.71 no longer collides with a Tape number; the kit no longer syncs passports or live_png in the build — the stand runs xcards and ask_index after build2.
• fixLiquidation days close by the capture's clock; the running day never prints as closedv4.83The Bybit liquidation family (lqa_*) now closes a day exactly when the capture has reached the day's last full hour, the same rule the page text already uses. Before, the newest day could sit in the free series for about an hour after midnight, until the new day's first events arrived. The running day stays in the paid live part only: the free page names the last closed UTC day, never the day still filling in.

• fixNext move size now carries the “only here” markv4.91The catalog and search now mark Next move size as a page you will not find elsewhere, next to the exchange arrivals, the Bybit panel, the cross-venue basis and the TradFi perps.
• fixThe catalog opens folded: six questions first, open the one you needv4.90All charts now greets you with six question groups stacked closed, each with its name and chart count; open the one you need. Search still opens matching groups; a deep link like /#q-liquidations opens exactly that group.
• fixLiquidation views grouped by exchangev4.8924 liquidation views now sit in exchange groups with short chips; full names stay in the chip title and hero.
• fixETF pages: honest partial-day captions and missing-fund warningsv4.88A day that is still filling in now says so in one clear sentence, with the running sum on Tape when it is there and a full stop when it is not. Coin pages that lose funds from the daily table say which coins are missing. The by-issuer board no longer prints a stray comma where the Tape note should be.
• fixLiquidations all-venues rollup: journals, batches and judgev4.87HL batches keyed by raw day content, hole journal locks sidecar gaps, operator notes clear venue-day partials, cron wrapper preserves journals and cleans up.

• fixWide screens: the charts column and the page are now centred togetherv4.82On screens 1760 px and wider the charts column sat at the left edge while the page was centred on its own, so the whole layout leaned left. The column, the gap and the page are now centred as one block; narrower screens and pages without the column are unchanged.
• fixPricing cards: everything in the gold lines; the fine print is gonev4.81Tape and Desk now say everything in their gold lines, each with its proof; the small print is gone, and so is a promise of a Bybit replay we have not built.
• correctionPlans now say how deep each page's hourly history goesv4.80The plans page and your account said Tape keeps the newest 400 days of hourly readings on every page, but most pages hold less: they now say each page has its own depth, up to 400 days on the ordinary pages and every hour we hold on the pages marked “max”, and each page shows where its hourly history begins and ends.
• correctionInvoice page: the QR now holds only the address; exchange withdrawals explainedv4.80Exchange withdrawal forms reject a payment link with an amount in it, so the BTC QR now carries the bare address and the amount is typed by hand, as it already was for USDT. The page and the invoice e-mail say to add the exchange's withdrawal fee on top; a short payment is asked for on the invoice page.
• dataFive on-chain pages now go hour by hour back to January 2009v4.80Coin days destroyed, dormancy, coin velocity, value against coins moved and the age of the coins that moved now hold every hour since 12 January 2009 in the hourly max window. Hours before 16 November 2025 are recomputed from a public chain archive with our own formulas; later hours come from our own Bitcoin node. Outputs below 0.01 BTC are left out; unverified old zero hours stay blank and flagged.

• data5-minute and 1-minute layers move from Tape to Desk; Tape keeps the hourv4.79From 12 October the 5-minute and 1-minute readings in the browser come with the Desk plan; Tape keeps every hourly window, the pages marked “max” and the running day so far. Files, the API key and the live arrivals window stay on Desk. Daily charts stay free.

• fixSome pages now load Google's ad-measurement tagv4.78The Google tag (gtag.js) now loads on 12 pages: the home page, /today/, pricing, account and the text pages, never on metric pages (/m/), the lab or the cards. Google receives your IP address, browser and its cookie id, never your name, email or payment details; in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland its consent starts as denied. Since v4.73 those pages fetched nothing from Google; that no longer holds.

• fixType your own price level on the coin chartv4.77On a coin's “Your price level” view there is now a box for any USDT price: type it, press Enter, and the page measures that exact level; the alert link carries it too. Until now the level could only be changed by editing the address. A price that cannot be read gets a one-line answer saying what to type.
• fixToday now says what each fact is, in plain wordsv4.77Every fact on /today/ now carries a plain label (Rare level, Big move, Record, Long streak), its unit next to the number, and a short note on what a fact like this does and does not show. The numbers and the odds behind them are unchanged.

• fixOur own line is the default on MVRV, NUPL and realized pricev4.74MVRV, NUPL and realized price: our own line from our own ledger is the line you see.
• fixA Telegram alert on your own line, on 44 chart pagesv4.73Draw a level on a chart and tap “Alert on this line”: Telegram opens a draft rule for that exact line, and it rings once when a closed UTC day prints past your level. The bot names the series and its source, and nothing is watched until you confirm it. 44 chart pages offer it as they open.
• fixThe site's fonts now come from our own domainv4.73Both typefaces now load from askthetape.com itself, so a page no longer waits on Google's servers before it draws and fetches nothing from Google at all. The font files are the ones Google publishes, unmodified.
• fixEnter in the search box no longer jumps to a pagev4.73Enter keeps you on the page: with Ask the tape on, it asks your question right in the box; otherwise the list of matching pages stays. A page opens only when you pick it with the arrow keys or a click, and typing in the box no longer hides charts in the catalog under it.

• correctionBybit open-interest dollar values correctedv4.72Correction: dollar values of Bybit open interest from the exchange's history used the next day's close; they now use the same day's.
• dataOptions trades tape now starts in 2016v4.72Options history added from Deribit's public trade archive: BTC from Nov-2016, ETH from Mar-2019; own capture since 2026-07-06, seam marked.
• dataBlock trades now start in 2019v4.72Block history added from Deribit's public trade archive, legs grouped by block id, from Aug-2019; own capture since 2026-07-06, seam marked.
• dataBybit open interest per coin: the exchange's archive joins our capturev4.72The Bybit line in “money in open bets” now starts with the exchange's public archive (bitcoin from 2020-08-04), then our own capture.
• dataTaker flow by coin now reaches back to 2019v4.72Binance lines now reach as far back as 2019, from the exchange's public archive; our own capture runs from Aug-08 2026.

• correctionHyperliquid open interest now counted on one sidev4.70Correction: Hyperliquid counts longs plus shorts in its open interest; we now halve it, so its share and each coin total are lower.
• correctionWidest leverage line moved down 4 to 6 %v4.70Correction: Hyperliquid open interest is now halved to one side, so the widest line here sits 4 to 6 % lower over its whole history.
• fixOpen interest page opens lighterv4.70Venue lines in the ALL view now keep each bucket's high and low, about 200 points each; the 1M to 3Y windows are unchanged.
• new pageEther option gamma, calls and puts apartv4.69Ether option gamma by expiry and by strike, calls and puts apart, hourly from our own Deribit snapshots; the dealer side is an assumption.
• new pageHow big will the next move be?v4.69BTC and ETH, one UTC day at a time: a size band either way, never a direction, replayed and graded since 2022.

• new pageDeribit block trades, read as structuresv4.67Large option trades agreed off the book, read as structures: the largest of the day and the week, and block dollars per day since July.
• fixSource notes trimmed to one linev4.67Source notes trimmed: the page says where a series starts and that it is our own capture.
• new pageBitcoin option gamma, calls and puts apartv4.66Bitcoin option gamma by expiry and by strike, calls and puts apart, hourly from our own Deribit snapshots; the dealer side is an assumption.
• fixOne closed day inside: hours by exchange, minutes for Binance and the sumv4.66The CVD page shows one closed BTC day: four exchanges hour by hour, and Binance and the four-exchange sum minute by minute.
• correctionGate liquidations corrected at the sourcev4.65Gate liquidations are now summed by the order that closed each position, history included: Sep-24 reads $23.5M, not $149.6M.

• fixFocus: the chart and your drawing tools fill the screenv4.62Every chart has a Focus button: the chart and the drawing tools fill the window, Esc brings the page back. Draw your line opens on a click.
• fixA card's address shows the card's numbersv4.62The address under a which-prints-first card now carries its levels and deadline; within the hour it opens the page with the card's numbers.
• fixA way back from the largest movesv4.62The list of the largest exchange transactions now links back to the chart, to all charts and to Today, with taps sized for phones.
• fixToday opens the line it namesv4.62A Today reading about one line of a chart with a line picker now opens that line itself, not the chart's first line.
• fixThe ask window says when a day is still runningv4.62bAsk now says when a day is still running: today's total so far first, then the last closed day; a series' start date now follows the number.

• fixThe front page starts with your questionv4.57The front page now opens with three questions: what happened to price, how busy bitcoin was and where it traded, each one row that opens its chart. Beside them sits one dated reading from our own bitcoin node, the last closed day of payments with its chart. Below come the reasons to come back, all 97 charts on three shelves and the five kinds of source, counted from the same build.
• correctionZero on the P&L index is not break-evenv4.56The zero line was labelled «profit and loss even». By the index's own published formula a market sitting exactly at its average cost reads about −1.15, so zero is only the index's own line. The label and the lead now say so, and the number is computed from the formula on every build.
• correctionSame-day betting odds are a blend of settlement hoursv4.56The page called its number the betting markets' price for the day's close. Kalshi lists a contract for many hours of the day, ten or more a day since Sep-12, so one day's coin-flip price mixes contracts that settle at different hours with Polymarket's own daily contract. The page now says same-day odds, and its passport counts the hours.
• correctionFunding breadth names its real exchange: Bybit, not Binancev4.56The page said «every Binance coin», but its rows were always Bybit's: our own snapshot of Bybit's linear contracts, taken every 15 minutes since Jun-11 2026. The title, the text and the table now say Bybit, and the table says how stocks are told apart from tokens and that the contracts without a rate are dated futures.
• correctionBinance's doors: the doors are Binance, the three panel views are Bybitv4.56The weekly doors come from Binance's own list, as before. The share, count and open-interest views were described as Binance's, but they come from our own snapshot of Bybit's contracts. Each panel view now names Bybit, and the first line of the page says so.

• correctionEther and Tron pages get their own label: we decode them, we run no node for themv4.55Three pages read other chains: ether staking deposits, stablecoin mints and burns, stablecoins on exchanges. The work is ours, a decode of their public records, but we run no node for those chains, and now we say so. The front page counts it: of 97 metrics, 28 are read on our own node and ledger, 3 we decode ourselves, 21 come from our own capture of the tape, 15 are our own rulers, 30 carry a named public archive.
• correctionTron and XRP pages now name their sourcev4.55The Tron and XRP ledger pages called their numbers our own daily chain series. They are public sources we pull once a day: a community chain-metrics archive, an explorer and the XRP Ledger's public servers; 48,114 of 48,116 day values match them, the two that differ are one XRP day booked across two. We run no node for either chain, and both pages say so. The Tron addresses chart now reads addresses active that day.
• dataLongs against shorts across the 21 coins we capture, added up over 30 and 60 daysv4.55One view adds the 21 coins of our capture: how much was long and how much short over the last month, and over two. On the Sep-21 close: $1.90B of longs against $2.18B of shorts over 30 days, longs 46.6 % of the dollars, BTC the heaviest coin at 44.0 %. The base is the same 21 coins since Jun-07: longs 40.5 %, and a placebo puts the month within the usual range. A lower bound: what four exchanges broadcast.
• dataDays when price and open interest rose together, and the week that followedv4.55Open interest is counted in COINS, never dollars. Each day since Sep-2020 whose close and whose Binance + Bybit open interest both rose is one bar at that close, showing bitcoin seven days later. The headline sets the answer against its base: −0.21 % after those days, +0.45 % after any day (medians, 609 days to Sep-21, placebo p 0.011) — the weeks after were weaker, not stronger.
• dataA green day for both the S&P and bitcoin, then the week afterv4.55Only common days count: the index against its own previous session, bitcoin against its own previous UTC day, nothing carried across a weekend. The headline prints the answer beside its base: +0.65 % a week after a green day for both, +0.55 % after any common day (medians, 1,026 days since 2013, to Sep-21, placebo p 0.61). About the same as any day — no regularity.

• new pageAny coin: price, drawdown, bounce and your own levelv4.52One page for a single coin — every Binance USDT perpetual with at least 250 daily closes, 477 of the 523 listed: price since its perpetual was listed, how far below its record CLOSE it sits, how far it bounced off the low of that drawdown and how earlier bounces of +50 % ended, its price in satoshi, the 200-day average and its streak, plus two views that take a level from you.
• dataUp days and down days on the S&P, and what followedv4.52Three new views on the S&P page: how many sessions in a row the index closed the same way since 1970; where it stood 5 and 20 sessions after a run reached its fifth close — the moment a reader can know it happened — with the base rate of any session beside it; and what bitcoin did over the same UTC days. A day here is a session.
• fixAsk the matrix for your own pair, and the card answers that pairv4.52The shareable picture now takes the two levels and the deadline you name — ?x=1&pair=83000x75000&wfh=72h — and it is measured from the last CLOSED hourly price of the build, printed large with its hour, instead of the morning anchor. A typo no longer draws the default cell in silence: an unknown pair, deadline or window says so on the card. The machine list at /x/keys.json spells out this page's own parameters.
• new pageAsk the tape — it finds the number for your questionv4.51A small window on every page: type a question in plain English and it finds the page and the series here that answer it, then prints the number with its date and its place in its own history. The number comes from this site's data, never from a language model; when we lack the series, it says so. Free, no account, five questions a day. Questions are kept without any identifier, so we can see what to build next.
• dataA plain catalogue for assistants, and dates in the markupv4.49Every page now states in its machine-readable markup when its data last changed, when the page first shipped and that the numbers are free to quote under CC BY 4.0; and one plain-text file, /llms.txt, lists every page on the site with a line each — and says what the day next to it means — so an assistant asked where to find a number can find it and date it without guessing.

• fixThe option board's card now draws the whole ladder of expiriesv4.49The picture this page shares was a frame around three dots: the card took the last MONTH of the x axis, and that axis is a list of EXPIRY dates, not days. It draws the whole ladder now. Two captions went with it: «last event · today», and the furthest expiry's date beside a number that belongs to the heaviest one. And the chance in each cell was rounded twice, so 8 of 135 were a point off — once now.
• new pageWhich months were kind to etherv4.48Ether now has the calendar bitcoin already had, plus quarters on both: pick a month or a quarter and every one of its years stands as a bar, with the median of them dashed across, how many finished up, and the best and worst year named. Public Binance ETHUSDT daily closes from 2017-08-17; the running month and quarter are hollow and count for nothing.
• dataWeeks in a row above or below the 50-week averagev4.48Two views on the same Bitstamp tape: every closed week since 2014 counted as the number of weeks in a row its Sunday close sat above the 50-week average (green) or below it (red), and how long the first close above held once a long stretch below ended. The week we are in is hollow and is in no count. On the day this shipped the count was 44 weeks below, and the three longest stretches below ran 62, 49 and 47 weeks.
• dataBitcoin's four quarters, beside its twelve monthsv4.48The seasonality page gained Q1 to Q4 on the same Bitstamp tape: one bar per year, close to close, with the median, the count of years that finished up and the best and worst year named. Same capture, same days, one calendar step up. The running quarter is hollow.
• fixCards can be addressed by any line keyv4.48A card URL now takes the key of a single line inside a view, not just the view key: the picture carries that line's number, date and caption, the line is highlighted and its neighbours are dimmed. An unknown key, window or coin no longer falls back to the page default in card mode — the frame says NO SUCH and names what the page does have. The machine list of keys is published at /x/keys.json.

• new pageHow many coins the exchanges hold, venue by venuev4.45New page: the coins sitting on exchange addresses, one line per venue, day by day since 2022. The level is anchored to a public snapshot of every funded bitcoin address intersected with our own address map, and carried between snapshots by our own daily flows; to the left of the anchor it is rolled back the same way.
• new pageWhich months were kind to bitcoinv4.45Pick a calendar month and every one of its years stands as one bar: the median move, how many of those years finished up, and the best and worst of them with the year named. The month we are in is drawn hollow and counts for nothing. Bitstamp daily closes, first closed month July 2013.
• dataRSI by week and by monthv4.45The RSI page now carries two more lines beside the 14-day one: Wilder's RSI-14 on ISO-week closes and on calendar-month closes. The running week and the running month are left out, and the monthly line needs 14 closes before it starts, so it begins in 2014-08.
• new pageThe whole bitcoin option board, photographed every hourv4.44Deribit is where bitcoin options trade, and until today we drew only the front ether expiry. This page takes the WHOLE bitcoin board every hour: max pain for each expiry next to the price that expiry trades at, the open bets behind it, and a table giving the chance the market prices for every strike. That chance is a delta, not a forecast — and max pain is not a magnet, with the measurement printed.
• new pageThe 200-week average joins the crosses pagev4.43The long ruler people quote most was missing: the 200-week average. It is here now, same engine as the rest — price against it and the 50-week crossing it, first point Mar 2017. The passport says what weekly means here. Six reader-caught defects went with it: line names at the chart edge, a watermark that keeps off the data, and three pages that now say when a day or a snapshot is only half in.

• dataTwo more pages now open hour by hourv4.42The last two pages whose tape we already capture but never drew by the hour. The liquidation map gets an hourly line of what sits on it: money that would be sold if price fell, money bought if it rose, how many bets carry a liquidation price — read from the very snapshots the daily map is built from, so the hour that closes a day IS that day. Funding opens hourly for every coin on every venue.
• fixOpen interest now says whether it counts dollars, coins — or more venuesv4.42A dollar total moves for two reasons that are not the market: the price moved under bets already open, and the list of venues grew. Each coin group now has a second view counted in coins, and its bold line is like-for-like — the same fixed set of venues every day, the set the dollar view uses. The notes print dollars, coins and price on that set, and how many venues entered.

• dataNine more pages now open hour by hourv4.41The tape behind these nine pages was already ours — the hours were simply never drawn. The whole market and bitcoin's share of it, mining power, stablecoins printed and shredded, ether entering staking, the betting books, the TradFi perpetuals. Nothing new is pulled. Each window names its carrier and says where the hourly carrier is a different instrument from the daily one: a fund is not the ounce.

• data5-minute and 1-minute files now follow a dated re-read registryv4.41For the finer files we asked one question of every series: can anyone re-read this tape for an arbitrary day months back, out of a public archive? We tried it by hand and wrote down what each source answered and when. What passes rides in the 5-minute and 1-minute archives; order books, depth, the five-second funding tape, the Hyperliquid map and the mempool are read here, because that day cannot be captured again.
• dataFourteen more pages now open hour by hourv4.41The tape behind these pages was already ours — the hours were simply never drawn. Fourteen pages now open hour by hour, built from the very capture their daily bar is built from: nothing new was pulled for any of them. Each window names its carrier on the page, says from which hour we hold it and when it was last pulled. Hours stay on the Tape plan; the daily charts stay free.
• dataEach layer now comes as one archive, like the daily onev4.40The finer cuts used to be carried away one page at a time. Now each layer is a single archive — all-hourly.zip, all-5min.zip, all-1min.zip next to all-daily.zip — built on the tick from the same files, cut by the same rule (only what we captured ourselves), and each counts as one file against the daily ceiling. Retention is printed inside: hourly from the day our capture starts, 5-minute 90 days, 1-minute 30 days.
• fixThe export now names where every series comes fromv4.40Every page on the site now says, in one line, whether it can be carried away as a file and from which day. Four pages we capture ourselves — forced closes, forced closes by coin, the Korea premium and stablecoins on exchanges — plus our own rulers and our own node's payment count are in the file for the first time; pages drawn from someone else's archive say so instead of saying «no export» on every page alike.
• fixThe plaque on a locked window now names the windows the page really hasv4.39When a finer window sat behind the Tape plan, the plaque said every window down to the minute — on six pages that was not true: four carry only the hour (Coinbase premium, exchange flows by hour, block rewards by pool, IV surfaces) and two the hour and five minutes (the Hyperliquid liquidation map, open interest by exchange). The plaque now lists exactly the windows that page has, in the same words as the catalogue.

• fixBinance's open interest now reaches back to 2020, not to Marchv4.38The page began where our own snapshots did, on 2026-03-31. Binance publishes an archive of the very same five-minute snapshots, and it now sits under our line: 2,035 days from 2020-09-01, read by the rule the page already used — the last snapshot of each UTC day, in bitcoin, one side. Over the 167 overlapping days the two agree to a median of 0.0157%. The other four venues publish no such archive.
• fixThe catalogue now says which pages have finer windowsv4.38Fifteen pages here carry our own tape hour by hour, ten of them down to five minutes and nine to the minute — and nothing in the list said so. Every card now names the windows it actually has (on Tape: hourly · 5-minute · 1-minute), the pro name carries the finest of them, and the one page whose name mentioned the inside of the day is now named for what it measures: Coinbase premium · the day's range.
• fixThe funding legs on the tick page now start in 2019, not in Aprilv4.37The fee lines had no reason to begin on 2026-04-11: the same exchanges publish every payment they ever charged. Binance is drawn from 2019-09-11, Bybit from 2020-03-26, Hyperliquid from 2023-06-08 when its billing went hourly - 5,646 archived days under our own tape. Our running tick against their settled fee: slope 1.00, 0.96, 0.99. On any day we cover, our number wins. OKX and Bitget publish no usable archive.
• fixThe crowd's lean now starts a year earlier, from each venue's own archivev4.37The page started the day our own hourly capture did, while all three venues publish a daily bar of it. Those bars now sit under it: Bybit to 2025-05-03 (+1.03 years), OKX and Gate to 2026-03-20 — 13,960 archived days on 140 legs. The day-label was tested on three alignments per venue: Gate and OKX carry the label's own day, Bybit's 00:00 bar the day before. Gate's taker ratio is a different measure.
• fixThe level line now says what it is: an anchored balance, not just a shapev4.37The page still told readers to read the shape and not the height «until the anchor exists», when the anchor had already been taken. It now prints the scan itself: block 966,976 on 2026-09-14, 35,580.55 BTC on the payout addresses, and the last published day as their balance at block 966,888. Two new rows for the pro: the 7 test-chain entries the scan skips, and the 17 blocks that paid two pools at once.

• correctionUnder the live price the daily window printed hourly numbersv4.30Two windows — the daily long view since 2011 and the four-year one — have no percentage grid of their own, and the page quietly answered them from the two-year hourly grid whenever it recomputed cells from the live price: the daily cell this build wrote read 53.3 / 38.2 / 8.4 and the page printed 70.2 / 29.8 / 0.0. Measured 2026-09-13 in our own file. Those windows now print what the build wrote, labelled «as built».
• new pageNotes: a new sectionv4.29One number with the date it is from, one chart you can open, one line of what we measure next, and a dated grade whenever a note makes a promise. One a week, on Sundays. The first note reads the coin-days page: five-year-old coins hold 81.16 % of all the waiting on the chain.
• dataNotes have their own RSS feedv4.29Every note appears in /notes/feed.xml the moment it is built, newest first, with the note's own address as its id. The daily feed of tape facts at /feed.xml is unchanged.
• fixThe band under a recomputed cell is now that cell's ownv4.29This page opens on cells recomputed from the live price, and in that view the 95 % band under the big number could only be the band of the UPPER share — labelled «on the upper share» whichever share was leading. The grid now carries the band of all three, read by field name out of the file, so the band belongs to the number above it. A file without those fields keeps the old label.
• fixCoin days by age is now a door on the four age pagesv4.29The four pages about how long coins have sat — every coin sorted by how long held, how long the moved coins had sat still, coin days destroyed, and the coins that moved by age — now carry a next-door link back to «Coin days by age band». Until today that road ran one way: it linked to all four, none of them linked back.

• correctionMVRV now runs on our own ledgerv4.22The page said own ledger but drew an outside feed that stopped three days back. Fixed: MVRV is now market value over realized cap from our own copy of the ledger, up to the last closed day.
• correctionNUPL now runs on our own ledgerv4.22Same fix as MVRV: the profit-and-loss share is computed from our own ledger up to the last closed day.
• fixThirteen age bands, thirteen coloursv4.22Four of the thirteen age bands shared a colour with another band or with the grey of the axes. Every band now has its own colour, fixed to that band across the views.
• fixOne colour per coinv4.22Ten coins were drawn with eight colours, so two pairs looked like one line. Each coin now keeps its own colour in both views.
• new pageWhich prints first?v4.21Pick a level above and a level below the price and a horizon: three shares from every hourly start of the last two years — the upper level came first, the lower came first, neither happened in time — with a 95% band. BTC, ETH and SOL, hourly bars since 2017.

• new pageWhat the tape says todayv4.3A daily digest: the facts of the last closed day, machine-read from every metric on the site and ranked by how rare each one is in its own history. No forecast, and a badge marks the few that survive a strict correction for how many series were scanned.
• new pageDraw your own formulav4.3Take any two of our daily series and make a third — a ratio, a difference, a z-score, a percentile rank, a rolling mean. The formula travels in the link and in the image.
• new pageA ready-made card for every pagev4.2Every page now has a card view: the chart, the number and the date in one frame, sized to share. Add ?x=1 to any page address.
• new pageThe regulated ledger: CME bitcoin futuresv4.1We show CME open interest, volume and basis beside the crypto exchanges and name the reporting source.
