RSI Heatmap
Scan RSI values across 500+ cryptocurrencies in one color-coded view.
What is RSI Heatmap?
RSI Heatmap displays the Relative Strength Index values for over 500 cryptocurrencies simultaneously using a color-coded grid. Instead of checking RSI on individual charts one at a time, you get a complete market-wide view of momentum conditions in a single screen.
The RSI measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate whether an asset is overbought or oversold. When applied across the entire crypto market as a heatmap, it reveals which sectors or individual coins are at momentum extremes. This market-wide perspective is something you simply cannot get from a standard charting tool.
Traders use RSI Heatmap to quickly identify clusters of overbought or oversold coins, spot divergences between related assets, and find potential mean-reversion or momentum continuation candidates across the market.
Key Concepts
- Overbought Zone: RSI values above 70, displayed in hot colors — indicates strong recent buying pressure
- Oversold Zone: RSI values below 30, displayed in cool colors — indicates strong recent selling pressure
- Neutral Zone: RSI values between 30 and 70 — indicates balanced momentum
- Market-Wide Extremes: When a large percentage of coins show overbought or oversold readings simultaneously, the entire market may be at a turning point
How to Use RSI Heatmap
- Open RSI Heatmap from the sidebar under Analysis Tools
- The heatmap loads showing RSI values for all tracked cryptocurrencies
- Use color intensity as your guide — the most extreme colors indicate the most extreme RSI readings
- Click on individual tiles to get more detail on specific coins
- Look for patterns: clusters of the same color often indicate sector-wide moves
What to Look For
- Bullish signals: Large clusters of oversold (cool-colored) tiles can indicate a market-wide washout that may be nearing a bounce. Individual coins showing oversold readings while the broader market is neutral may be lagging and due for a catch-up move.
- Bearish signals: Widespread overbought readings across the market suggest momentum may be overextended. Coins still showing overbought readings while others have started cooling off could be the last to turn.
- Key patterns: Watch for divergences — if BTC and major altcoins show different RSI regimes, it can signal a shift in market leadership. Clusters of extreme readings in a specific sector (e.g., all AI tokens oversold) often precede sector rotations.
- Combine with: EMA Heatmap for trend confirmation, Visual Screener for positioning data, Market Overview for deep-diving into specific coins that show extreme readings

Tips
- RSI extremes are more meaningful in ranging markets than in strong trends — in a powerful uptrend, RSI can stay overbought for extended periods
- Use RSI Heatmap as a screening tool to generate a watchlist, then apply other DCT tools for confirmation before acting
- Compare heatmap snapshots across different timeframes to distinguish between short-term noise and sustained momentum shifts
