Learn how to use the head and shoulder pattern in TradingViewIntroduction of Head and Shoulders Pattern
Technical analysis is a necessary thing to select the positions of perfect entry and exit. For that, There are many patterns available for trading, the head and shoulders pattern is one of them. This article is all about the head and shoulders pattern. In simple words, this pattern includes three triangles. The first triangle is on the left side, and the second one is on the right side, the last one is in between these two. This, the last triangle is the highest in the height, which is called the head, the other two are called the shoulders.
What’s Head and Shoulders?
There will be three vertices or bottom points in a certain price area, but the second apex or bottom point is higher or lower than the other two vertices or bottom points. This type is called the head and shoulders type. One with top and two shoulders is head and shoulder top; one with two shoulders is head and shoulder bottom type. However, sometimes there may be more than three vertices or bottoms. If there are one or two heads (or bottoms), two left and right shoulders, it is called a compound head and shoulder top (or compound head and shoulder bottom).
The W bottom pattern is an important pattern in morphology, and its trend looks like the English letter "W". The W bottom pattern is a mid-term bottom pattern. It usually occurs at the end of a swing downtrend, and generally does not appear in the middle of a market trend. A mid-term short market must correspond to a mid-term bottom, that is, a W The brewing time of the bottom has its minimum period rule, so the shaping period of the bottom W is a necessary condition for judging the authenticity of the shape.
The components of the bottom W have the following two conditions:
There must be at least a relatively long distance between the first low point and the second low point of the bottom of W. Sometimes there will be short-term double bottoms in the market. This cannot be regarded as a bottom of W, but only a small market. Rebound at the end, and it is often a trap.
The transactions at the first low point are relatively active, while the transactions at the second low point are extremely dull. Moreover, the appearance of the second low point is usually slightly arc-shaped. Therefore, the W bottom pattern has the characteristics of a left-pointed right circle.
The formation of the bottom W pattern is due to the fact that after the long-term price decline, some investors who are optimistic about the market outlook believe that the price is already very low and has investment value, and the anticipatory buying is active, and the price will naturally rise, but this will affect the large investment institutions to absorb low-cost chips. Therefore, under the pressure of large investment institutions, the price has returned to the first low point, forming support. The fall this time hurt the enthusiasm of investors, and the shape was arc-shaped. There are two low points and two rebounds in the bottom W pattern. From the first high point, horizontal neckline pressure can be drawn. When the price breaks upward again, it must be accompanied by active transactions before the bottom W is officially established. If the upward breakthrough is unsuccessful, the exchange rate must continue to be adjusted horizontally. After the exchange rate breaks through the neckline, the neckline pressure becomes the neckline support, and the exchange rate will retreat at this time. The exchange rate temporarily retreats to the vicinity of the neckline. After the retreat ends, the exchange rate begins to rise in waves.
Generally speaking, the second low point of the W bottom pattern is better than the first low point, which can create a bottom-breaking atmosphere and let retail investors out, thus forming a relatively concentrated bottom of chips to facilitate the pull of large investment institutions.
Head and shoulders are the reversal patterns. That includes the concept of the bearish and bullish trend. In this pattern, there would be a one trend line, reacts as support, all three triangles are connected with that, called a neckline. If the trend crosses the neckline, there will be a change in the trend. By this, we can decide the trend (upward or downward).
The next is the bearish head and shoulders (top reversal) and the bullish head and shoulders (bottom reversal).
Bullish Head and Shoulders (Figure B): In this, the trend enters by falling. And makes the head and shoulders pattern by breaking the neckline. Then it will jump and make an uptrend by crossing the neckline in an incremental way.
Bearish Head and Shoulders (Figure A): The trend initials in the uptrend further it crosses the neckline and makes the Head and Shoulders pattern and then after, by breaking the neckline, it will fall. It calls Top reversal, too.
In-depth Description of Head and Shoulders Pattern:
==============================================
The reversal pattern refers to the pattern formed by the reversal of the stock price trend, that is, the signal that the stock price turns from an uptrend to a downtrend, or from a downtrend to an uptrend.
1. The pattern analysis
The head and shoulders trend can be divided into the following different parts:
(i) The left shoulder part-lasts a period of ascending time, the trading volume is very large, in the past, people who bought at any time were profitable, so they started to get Profit-selling caused a short-term decline in the stock price, and the turnover was significantly reduced when it reached its peak.
(ii) Top, After a short period of time, the stock price rose again strongly, and the transaction also increased. However, compared with the left shoulder part, the highest point of trading volume has significantly decreased. The stock price rose above the previous high and then fell again. The trading volume also decreased during this down period.
(iii) The right shoulder part-the stock price fell to close to the last down low point and then gained support to rebound. However, the market investment sentiment was significantly weakened, and the turnover was significantly reduced compared with the left shoulder and the head, and the stock price could not reach the head high The point fell back, and the right shoulder part was formed.
(iv) Breakthrough, Fall from the top of the right shoulder and break through the bottom neckline connected by the bottom of the left shoulder and the bottom of the head. The extent of the breakthrough of the neckline must exceed 3% of the market price.
Simply put, the shape of the top of the head and shoulders presents three distinct peaks, one of which is in the middle is slightly higher than the other two peaks. As for trading volume, there was a cascading decline.
2. Market meaning
The head and shoulders is a technical trend that cannot be ignored. From this pattern, we can observe the fierce competition between the poor and the weak.
At the beginning, the optimistic forces continued to push the stock price up, the market investment sentiment was high, and a large number of transactions occurred. After a short-term downturn adjustment, those who had experienced the last uptrend of germanium bought during the adjustment period, and the stock price continued to rise. At the second high point, the market appears to be healthy and optimistic on the surface, but the transaction has been much lower than before, reflecting the weakening of the buyer's power. Those who did not have confidence in the prospects and missed the last high point and profit-taking, or those who bought at the falling low point for short-term speculation all sold, and the stock price fell again. The third rise provides an opportunity for those investors who later realized that they missed the opportunity of the last rise, but the stock price is unable to rise above the previous high, and when the trading volume drops further, it is almost certain that the past bullish optimism is almost certain The mood has been completely reversed. The future market will be weak and weak, and a sharp drop is about to come.
The analysis of this pattern is:
(i) This is a turning pattern of a long-term trend, which usually appears at the end of a bull market.
(ii) When the trading volume of the most recent high is lower than the previous high, it implies the possibility of head and shoulders; when the stock price cannot rise to the previous high for the third time, trading will continue When it drops, experienced investors will seize the opportunity to sell.
(iii) When the head-shoulders-top-neckline breaks, it is a real sell signal. Although the stock price has fallen by a considerable amount from the highest point, the decline has only just begun. Investors who have not shipped yet continue to sell.
(iv) When the neckline breaks below, we can predict which level the stock price will fall to according to this type of measurement method of least drop. The method of this measurement is to draw a vertical line one by one from the highest point of the head to the neckline, and then start at the point where the right shoulder breaks through the neckline, and measure the same length downwards. The price thus measured is the stock price. The smallest drop.
3. Tips
(i) Generally speaking, the height of the left shoulder and the right shoulder are roughly equal, and the right shoulder on the top of the head and shoulders is lower than the left shoulder. But if the height of the right shoulder is higher than the head, the pattern cannot be established.
(ii) If its neckline slopes downward, it indicates that the market is very weak.
(iii) In terms of trading volume, the left shoulder is the largest, followed by the head, and the right shoulder is the smallest. However, according to some statistics, about one-third of the head and shoulders have more turnover on the left shoulder than the head, one-third of the turnover is roughly equal, and the remaining one-third have more turnover on the head than the left shoulder. .
(iv) When the neckline breaks, there is no need to increase the turnover. If the turnover increases sharply when the break, it shows that the selling power of the market is very strong, and the stock price will decline more rapidly as the turnover increases.
(v) After breaking the neckline, there may be a temporary rebound (post-draw). This situation usually occurs when a break of low volume occurs. However, the temporary recovery should not exceed the neckline level.
(vi) The head-and-shoulders top is a very lethal form, and its drop is usually greater than the smallest drop measured.
(vii) If the stock price finally rebounds at the neckline level and is higher than the head, or if the stock price drops below the neckline and then rises above the neckline, this may be a failed head and shoulders and should not be trusted.
Reversal pattern-head and shoulders bottom
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
1. The shape analysis [ Figure B ]
is the same as the shape of the head and shoulders, except that the whole shape is reversed, also known as "inverted head and shoulders". When the left shoulder is formed, the stock price drops and the trading volume increases, followed by a secondary increase with a small volume. Then the stock price fell again and fell below the lowest point of the last time, and the trading volume increased again with the decline, which was more than the trading volume during the rebound phase of the left shoulder-forming a head; when it rebounded from the lowest point of the head, the trading volume was May increase. The volume of the entire head is more than that of the left shoulder. When the stock price rebounded to the last rebound high, there was a third fall. At this time, the trading volume was obviously less than that of the left shoulder and head. When the stock price fell to the level of the left shoulder, the decline stabilized, forming the right shoulder. . Finally, the stock price formally instigated an upward trend, and accompanied by a large increase in transactions, when the neckline resistance broke through, the transaction increased significantly, and the whole pattern was established.
2. Market meaning
The analytical significance of the head and shoulders bottom is no different from that of the head and shoulders top. It tells us that the past long-term trend has been reversed. Stock prices have fallen again and again, and the second low (head) is obviously lower than the previous one. The price was low, but it quickly turned around and bounced back. The next fall, the stock price fell to the last low level and has gained support and rebounded, reflecting the optimistic forces that are gradually changing the market’s past weakening situation. When the high resistance line (neckline) of the two rebounds breaks, it shows that the optimistic side has completely knocked down the weak side, and the buyer replaces the seller to completely control the entire market.
3. Tips
(i) The shape of the top of the head and shoulders is similar to that of the bottom of the head and shoulders. The main difference lies in the volume.
(ii) When the head-shoulders-bottom-neckline breaks, it is a real buy signal. Although the stock price has risen by a certain amount compared with the lowest point, the upward trend is only just beginning. Investors who still suggest buying should continue to chase. The method of measuring the least increase is to draw a vertical line from the lowest point of the head to intersect the neckline, and then start at the point where the right shoulder breaks through the neckline, and measure the same height upwards. The measured price is that the stock will rise. The smallest amplitude. In addition, when the neckline resistance breaks, there must be a surge in volume, otherwise it may be a wrong break. However, if the transaction gradually increases after the breakthrough, the pattern can also be confirmed.
(iii) Generally speaking, the head and shoulders pattern is relatively flat, so it takes a longer time to complete.
(iv) After breaking through the neckline, there may be a temporary fall back, but it should not fall below the line. If it falls below the neckline, or if the stock price falls back at the neckline level, the neckline resistance cannot be broken, and it falls below the head, this may be a failed head and shoulders pattern.
(v) Head-and-shoulders bottom is one of the most predictive patterns. Once confirmed, the increase will mostly exceed the minimum increase.
Reversal pattern-compound head and shoulders
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
1. [ Figure A & B ]
Shape analysis The compound head and shoulders type is the deformation trend of the head and shoulders (head and shoulders top or head and shoulders bottom), and its shape is very similar to the head and shoulders, except that the shoulder, head, or both appear more than once at the same time, roughly It can be divided into the following categories:
(i) One-head and two-shoulder style: One head has two left and right shoulders of the same size, and the left and right shoulders are roughly balanced. More often is a pair of right shoulders. When the first right shoulder is formed, the stock price does not immediately fall below the neckline, but instead turns to rebound, but the rebound stops below the right shoulder height, and finally the stock price continues to follow the original The trend is down.
(ii) One-head and multiple-shoulder style: The general head-and-shoulder style tends to be symmetrical, so when two left shoulders are formed, it is likely that one shoulder will also be formed. Except for the volume, the left and right half of the graph is almost identical.
(iii) Long-headed and multi-shouldered pattern: During the formation of the head, the stock price has risen again and again, and it has risen to the same high level as last time before falling back down, forming two obvious heads. Trend. One thing must be noted: the volume of the second head tends to decrease compared to the first one.
2. Meaning market
analysis significance complex head and shoulders patterns and common type of head and shoulders patterns as when appears at the bottom, it means that a longer-term rising market around the corner; if appear at the top, that the market will become more fall.
In the initial stage of forming a compound head and shoulders pattern, the volume may be irregular, making the pattern difficult to identify, but after a while, it is easy to see that it is exactly the same as the head and shoulders pattern.
Many people overestimate the expected rise (or fall) power of the compound head and shoulders pattern. In fact, the power of the compound head and shoulders pattern is often weaker than the ordinary head and shoulders pattern. When a mid-term trend appears, the compound head-and-shoulders pattern completes its minimum increase (or decline) and then no longer continues, while the increase (or decline) of the ordinary head-and-shoulders pattern is often the most measured big.
3. Key points
(i) The minimum increase/decrease measurement method of the composite head and shoulders pattern is the same as that of the ordinary head and shoulders pattern.
(ii) It is difficult to draw the neckline of the composite head-and-shoulders pattern, because each shoulder and the falling part of the head (the bottom of the composite head and shoulders is the rising part), not all fall on the same line. Therefore, the two most obvious short-term lows (compound head and shoulders are short-term rebound highs) should be connected to form a neckline. In addition, it may be connected to the neckline at the level where the price has fallen (or rebounded) the most times.
Reversal pattern-single-day (double-day) reversal
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
1. Pattern analysis [ Figure B ]
When a stock continues to rise for a period of time, the stock price is suddenly and unusually pushed up on a certain trading day, but it is immediately under strong selling pressure, and all the gains of the day are completely reduced. If you fall more and close at the lowest price of the day (or close to the lowest price of the day), this trading day is called the top one-day reversal. Also when it fell, the stock price suddenly fell sharply on a certain trading day, but it was immediately supported by strong buying. All the declines of the day may be increased, and the highest price of the day (or close to the highest price of the day) Price) closes, this is the bottom one-day reversal.
The two-day reversal is a deformation of this pattern. In the process of rising, the stock price of the stock rose sharply on a certain trading day and closed at the highest price of the day. However, after the stock price opened at yesterday’s closing price on the next day, the price continued to fall throughout the day. It is the closing of the lowest price of the previous day, and the performance of this trend is called the top two-day counter. Also when it fell, the stock price suddenly fell sharply on a certain trading day, but the following trading day completely recovered the lost ground and closed at the highest price of the day, which is the bottom two-day reversal.
2. Market implications
Let us take the bottom one-day reversal as an example to explain the cause of this phenomenon.
During the downward phase, as the stock price continued to fall, more and more investors were unable to bear greater losses, so they stopped loss and sold. Their selling further pushed down the stock price, and the lower price made them more eager to sell, which caused the price to fall sharply that day. When they finished selling, the selling pressure suddenly disappeared. Other investors tried to buy because of the lure of new low prices and immediately made profits. Therefore, more investors joined the ranks of buying. The order has been completely digested, so the buying order quickly pushed up the stock price, bringing back all the prices that fell that day.
The market meaning of the one-day reversal pattern has at least two points:
(i) The market temporarily peaks (when the top one-day reversal occurs) or bottoms (when the bottom one-day reversal occurs). The top one-day reversal usually occurs in the late period of a consumable rise; the bottom one-day reversal occurs at the end of the panic selling.
(ii) This is not a signal of a long-term trend reversal. It usually appears at the top of the consolidation pattern, although it may also appear at the peak (or bottom) of the long-term trend.
3. Key points revealed
(i) On the day of the single-day reversal, the transaction volume suddenly increased, and the price fluctuation range was very large, both of which were significantly larger than usual. If the trading volume is not high or the price volatility throughout the day is not large, the pattern cannot be confirmed.
(ii) The volatility of the stock price within one or two hours may be greater than the volatility of the usual three or four trading days. When the top one-day reversal, the stock price opened a lot higher than the previous trading day, but the situation quickly reversed, the price quickly moved in the opposite direction, and the closing price of the last day was almost nothing compared to the previous trading day Variety. The bottom one-day reversal situation is exactly the opposite.
(iii) Generally, 15 minutes before the market closes, there is a sudden increase in trading and the price quickly moves in the opposite direction.
(iv) The volatility of the two-day reversal of the transaction and price is also huge. The top two-day reversal completely falls back to the previous trading day's gain on the second trading day; while the bottom two-day reversal fully returns to the previous trading day's decline.

You can now chart the election: Trump vs. BidenType US:BIDEN or US:TRUMP into the search box to chart election results. This data is now available to all TradingView members. You can add indicators, symbols, and drawings to your election charts just as you would on any other chart. Look for correlations, new insights or study polling results as they come in. 🇺🇸
In this example, we've highlighted two big moves for Trump and Biden that occurred after the first debate in late September. Biden seemed to breakout while Trump hit a peak. Of course, polling results do not always tell the full story. The 2016 general election demonstrated how polls don't always tell the full story. Nonetheless, it's interesting to see how the polls might move markets in the short term. Here are some ideas you can research yourself:
1. Trump vs. energy ETF XLE: energy stocks have been getting demolished since the first debate.
2. Biden vs. solar ETF TAN: solar stocks have been climbing since the first debate.
3. General election vs. Nasdaq-100: big tech, as measured by the QQQ ETF, is up over 6% since the first debate.
4. General election vs. crypto: do crypto markets care who wins? Are they immune to election results?

Plan your trades with the Long or Short position toolThe Long and Short Position tools make it easy to plan and visualize your trades. Set a profit target and a stop loss and see it on your chart. Here are five steps to getting started:
Step 1 - Find and click the Long or Short position tool located on the toolbar to the left of your chart. It's the sixth drawing tool down from the top above Icons and below Patterns.
Step 2 - Click the Long Position tool (or Short Position tool) and then select the exact point on the chart where you plan to go long or short.
Step 3 - A green and red box will appear showing your profit and loss areas for the specific trade you're planning.
Step 4 - Drag or adjust the boxes to create your ideal risk-reward trade. You can make the green and red areas larger or smaller depending on your risk-reward calculations.
Step 5 - Double click the tool or right click and head to the tool's settings to make specific adjustments to the calculation of your account size, risk, entry price, and profit or stop levels.
We hope you enjoyed this quick tutorial about the Long and Short Position tools. The chart we made here shows Bitcoin. It is an example and we are not actually placing the trade. We've also written some notes on the chart to show what's possible with this tool.
In this example, the profit target is the 2017 highs, as seen by the black trendline we drew and green box. The green area shows our profit area and the red area shows our loss area. If price goes into the green area, the trade is profitable. If price goes into the red area, it is a loss. In this example, we placed our stop loss below an important support level.

How to instantly find candlestick patterns on your chartWe created this chart of Apple to show off the updates we've made to Candlestick Patterns, a new way to automatically spot a specific candle formation. It's easy and fast. One click can detect almost any candlestick pattern from a Bearish Engulfing candle to a Shooting Star top.
To get started, open the Indicators and Strategies menu. From there, click the Candlestick Patterns tab and then select the pattern you’d like to use. If a candlestick pattern is automatically detected, a special label will appear on the chart: blue for Bullish, red for Bearish, or gray for both Bullish and Bearish signals. Hover over the label to learn more about a specific candlestick formation.
The chart we've created in this example shows Apple since early June. It also shows each Bearish Engulfing candle and Doji denoted by the red and gray label markers. Apple is up more than 50% year-to-date. However, most recently, a massive Bearish Engulfing candle occurred. We've highlight that area on the chart with an arrow. Apple is down roughly 15% since that candle formed and it was a potentially bearish sign, with sentiment and price action changing to the downside in a flash. However, it's important to note that not every Bearish Engulfing candle leads to long-term sell-off. In-fact, on three other occasions, Apple has managed to shrug these candles off. Is this time different? Time will tell.
We can also keep track of Apple and how this candle impacts it over time by creating an alert. That's right – our Candlestick Patterns work together with the alert system. So if you want to receive a notification every time a candle pattern appears on the chart, you can create an alert for that and get them delivered to your phone, desktop or email.
We've also been listening to your feedback, and starting today we've added 17 brand new indicators to the Candlestick Patterns menu:
• Dark Cloud Cover and Piercing;
• Morning Doji Star and Evening Doji Star;
• Harami Cross (Bearish and Bullish);
• Tweezer Bottom and Tweezer Top;
• Rising Three Methods and Falling Three Methods;
• Rising Window and Falling Window;
• On Neck;
• Upside Tasuki Gap and Downside Tasuki Gap;
• Doji Star (Bullish and Bearish).
All of these indicators are written in Pine, our official scripting language. If you’d like to better understand our algorithm, or even configure it yourself and customize it to match your specific preferences, head over to the indicator’s source code and modify it from there.
We hope you enjoyed this written tutorial on Candlestick Patterns. If you have any questions or comments, please leave us a message below. If you enjoyed this post, press Like.

How to Use Multi-Timeframe Analysis and What It MeansIn this video tutorial, our team based out of New York City walks you through multi-timeframe analysis including what it means and how it works. Multi-timeframe analysis (MTF) is a process in which traders can view multiple timeframes at once on a single chart. For example, if you're looking at a 30-minute chart you can quickly add a daily Moving Average and weekly Bollinger Bands. Multi-timeframe analysis is the process of looking at multiple timeframes at once and using them to make better decisions when trading or investing.
Getting started with multi-timeframe analysis on TradingView is easy:
Step 1 - Add an indicator to your chart
Step 2 - Open the indicator's settings and find the Resolution parameter in Inputs
Step 3 - Adjust the resolution to the timeframe of your liking
This process works for most of the built-in indicators on TradingView. You can have several timeframes visible at once so you always know the most important price levels. MTF works by the minute, hour, day, week and month.
In addition, Pine coders can use the same `resolution` parameter we use in our built-in indicators in their own scripts. By simply adding it to a script’s `study` declaration statement, coders now have an easy way to add MTF functionality to scripts and let users decide the timeframe they want the indicator to run on.
We hope you enjoy this video tutorial and please press like if you find it helpful. If you're already an expert at multi-timeframe analysis, please leave some tips and educational lessons in the comments so others can learn from you.

How to draw and create fundamental charts for individual stocksYou can draw on fundamental charts and perform the same level of analysis as you would on any other chart. That includes adding trend lines , ranges, arrows, and text. For long-term investors or those looking to dig deeper into individual companies, this might be an effective strategy to add to your process.
Getting started is easy. The first thing you should do is open a chart of a company you're interested in studying. Type the name or symbol into the search box. Next, click the "Financials" button or icon that looks like the bar chart emoji 📊 located near the top of your chart. Finally, select the fundamental metric you want to study.
Now that you have a fundamental metric selected for the company you're interested in, you can begin drawing. Select a drawing tool and perform the same level of analysis on the financial health of a company as you would on a normal price chart. In this example, we're showing a chart of Microsoft's Price-to-Sales ratio. This ratio shows how much investors are willing to pay for $1 in Microsoft revenue. So if the PS ratio is 30, it means investors are paying $30 for every $1 in revenue. On this chart, we've added text and highlighted some interesting moments in Microsoft's valuation history. What do you see?
We hope you enjoyed this quick post and that it helps you get started with fundamental metrics and drawings. In addition, for those who are more advanced, you can use fundamental data to build Pine Scripts.
Thanks for being a member of TradingView and we hope to you enjoy this level of fundamental analysis .
How to invert your chart Press ALT + I to invert your chart. If you're on a Mac, press option ⌥ + I. This shortcut will instantly flip the chart you're looking at upside down. Inverting your chart can give you a unique and different perspective on price and trend.
Today, Amazon crossed $3,000 per share for the first time ever and its market cap now stands at $1.5 trillion. Congrats to those who have held all this time, traded it successfully over the years or saw the potential in it from the start.
In this idea, we're showing two daily charts of Amazon side-by-side. The chart on the left is Amazon inverted while the chart on the right is Amazon without any modifications. Comparing these two charts, one inverted and another normal, is an exercise in perspective. Ask yourself, do you still see the same trend? Or has your perspective changed now that you can easily the see the opposite of what you saw before?
Here's another way to think about this: if you would "buy" the inverted chart to the left because it looks like capitulation or an attractive dip, then that would be the same as selling the normal chart of Amazon to the right. By inverting the chart, you can test yourself on trends and price action, which can be especially helpful if you're uncertain. Flip the chart upside down and ask yourself the question again to see if it confirms or not.
We hope you enjoyed this tip and we look forward to hearing feedback, thoughts or commentary. Thanks for being a member of TradingView!

How To Track Total Market Cap for All CryptocurrenciesThe Total Market Cap for all cryptocurrencies currently stands at nearly $220 billion. You can track and chart this data on TradingView by typing "TOTAL" or "CRYPTO MARKET CAP" into the search bar or by visiting the Total Market Cap page: www.tradingview.com
Total Market Cap is an important metric to follow because it can highlight the overall health of the crypto ecosystem. The Total Market Cap for all cryptocurrencies is exactly as it sounds: it is every cryptocurrency added up and displayed as one data point. For example, the market cap of Bitcoin + the market cap of Ethereum + the market cap of Litecoin and so on. Following the total market cap can be an effective gauge to measure the universe of cryptos and how they're trading as a whole.
On the TradingView Total Market Cap page (link shown in the first paragraph above), you can also chart Total Market Capitalization Excluding Bitcoin and the Total Market Capitalization Dominance for each crypto as a percentage. Both of these charts can help you better understand the cryptocurrency landscape. By subtracting Bitcoin, you can evaluate the health of all cryptocurrencies without Bitcoin. This can unlock some insight into Altcoins or if the market is moving in a direction despite Bitcoin. By viewing each cryptocurrency as a percentage of the total crypto market cap, you can see how big a crypto is relative to everything else.
We hope this guide helps and that the Total Market Cap page can aid you with your analysis. Please leave a comment if you have questions or feedback. We're also interested to hear your thoughts on these tools, so please keep the discussion going by attaching a chart or analysis of your own.

When you've opened Settings, you will see a new tab called Text. In this tab, you can manage every detail about the text on your chart and how it's presented on the lines you've drawn.
