What's new

The Bitcoin price chart on the terminal and on Bitcoin Live Price now has two modes. Both draw on one saved workspace, so your drawings, studies and display settings follow you between the two pages. The mode, range and interval do not carry over.

Overview is the compact view for a quick read. Ranges, Indicators, the Data menu, Fit, Log, Share, Export and Fullscreen sit in one toolbar. The tooltip shows the time and the live price. Choose Advanced chart to open the full workspace on the same chart.

In the Advanced chart you can:

  • Draw. Place lines, channels, Fibonacci tools, Gann and Elliott tools, arrows, callouts and images. Select a drawing to edit or style it, copy and paste it, and undo or redo each step.
  • Use formulas. Write your own formula in the formula lab, apply it to the chart or backtest it, and keep a named library of formulas that you can load again.
  • Read depth and liquidity history. Depth history shows one observed order book snapshot per minute for the last seven days, in one-hour or six-hour windows ending at the UTC time you choose. The liquidity heatmap shows the same minutes in $10 price bins, with bids in green and asks in red. History starts when collection began, and a past order book cannot be rebuilt, so missing minutes stay blank.
  • Lay out your workspace. Save a layout and show several charts side by side.
  • Export. Save the chart as a standard or high-resolution PNG, or download the price data or the indicator data as CSV.

Zoom and reset

  • Scroll the mouse wheel to zoom with the right edge of the chart fixed. The chart never zooms into the future.
  • Hold Cmd (Ctrl on Windows and Linux) while you scroll to zoom around the cursor. A short hint explains this the first time, and you can dismiss it.
  • Drag to pan in both directions. The first vertical drag turns auto-scale off. Fit turns it back on.
  • Hold Cmd or Ctrl and drag to select a range. The selection shows a readout, and the chart zooms to the box when you let go.
  • Dragging into the future stops at three quarters of the view.
  • Reset zoom appears only after you have moved the chart.
