What it shows

Each bar is one sector, and its length is the median performance of the coins in it against Bitcoin over the past year. Green beat Bitcoin, red did not. Hover a bar for the number of coins behind it.

How to use it

The median rather than the average is the point. One 40x token cannot drag a whole sector into positive territory, so what you see is how the typical coin fared.

Sectors at the top have had broad strength; those at the bottom, broad weakness — which is not the same as having no winners. Use it to decide where to look, then use the screener file to find the names.

Moving through history

Drag the slider to step back through every weekly snapshot to October 2024. Each date is sorted on its own values, so the bars reorder as you go, and that reordering is the thing to watch: a sector climbing the board over several months is a rotation happening.

The scale stays fixed at every date, so a bar that looks longer really is longer.

The fine print

The steps are evenly spaced but the dates are not. Nothing ran between April and August 2026, so one step there covers five months.

Each coin carries a single category from CoinGecko’s classification, so nothing is double-counted. A sector needs at least three coins with a full year of price history to appear at all — sectors full of recent listings, such as the Ethereum and Solana ecosystems, often hold six coins of which only two can be measured.

A bar reaching the right-hand edge has been cut off and carries its true figure as a label. Only two do: Meme in late 2024, whose median coin was up 260% and then 353% against Bitcoin.
