Live heatmaps for every market

MarketHeat is a free heatmap tool for every market that has a price. The map above is the S&P 500 heatmap, live, and it is one of more than thirty: stock heatmaps, crypto heatmaps, commodities, forex and house prices, and also markets that no other heatmap site covers, such as Pokémon cards, fantasy sports and game skins. Every map works the same way, so once you can read one, you can read them all.

What is a market heatmap?

A market heatmap is a picture of a whole market on one screen. Each tile is one asset: a stock, a coin, a currency, a trading card, a player. The size of a tile shows how much the asset is worth, usually its market cap, so the largest names take the most room. The color shows how its price has moved: green for a gain, red for a loss, and a deeper shade for a bigger move.

That makes a heatmap the fastest way to answer the question a price list cannot: what is the market doing right now? A screen of green with one red corner tells you in a second what a table of 500 rows would take minutes to show. Tiles are grouped by sector, region or category, so you also see whether a move is market-wide or limited to one group.

Stock market heatmaps

The S&P 500 heatmap shows all 500 stocks of the index, grouped into its 11 sectors and sized by market cap. It is the stock market heatmap most traders open first, because it shows at a glance which sectors are carrying the day and which are dragging it down.

The sector heatmaps go where the index does not. Each one follows a single industry around the world, not only its US listings: the AI stocks heatmap and the semiconductor heatmap for the chip and AI trade, the bank stocks heatmap, the oil and gas stocks heatmap, the pharma stocks heatmap and the defense stocks heatmap. There are also maps for industries that rarely get one: a car stocks heatmap of the world's automakers, a luxury watch stocks heatmap, a betting stocks heatmap of casinos and sportsbooks, and a crypto stocks heatmap of exchanges, miners and Bitcoin treasury companies.

Crypto heatmaps

The crypto heatmap shows the largest coins by market cap, grouped by sector, with live prices. It is the quickest way to see whether Bitcoin is moving alone or taking the whole market with it. Stablecoins are left out, since a coin that never moves is only a gray tile.

Each corner of the market has its own map: the memecoin heatmap for Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe and the rest of the meme tokens, the DeFi heatmap for the lending, trading and staking protocols, and the Layer 1 heatmap for the blockchains themselves, from Bitcoin and Ethereum to Solana and Sui. Every crypto heatmap can be switched between 1 hour, 24 hour, 7 day and 30 day performance.

Commodities, forex and house prices

The commodities heatmap covers the futures markets: crude oil, natural gas, gold, silver, copper, wheat, coffee and more, each sized by the value of what the world produces in a year. The forex heatmap shows more than 100 currencies against the US dollar, grouped by region and sized by daily trading turnover, and can be measured against the euro, pound, yen or yuan instead. The house price heatmap compares real estate prices across 57 countries, over periods from three months to five years.

Pokémon card heatmaps

Pokémon cards are a market like any other, with prices that rise and fall every day, and until now it had no heatmap. The Pokémon card heatmap shows every English set from Base Set to today, sized by what the whole set is worth. Open a set and you get its own map, one tile per card. Used together they work as a Pokémon card price tracker and analytics tool: you see which sets are gaining value, and then which cards are behind it.

The chase card heatmap ranks the 200 most valuable modern cards, and the Pokémon heatmap turns the question around: one tile per Pokémon, so you can see what Charizard, Pikachu or Umbreon cards are worth in total. Collectors of older cards have the vintage Pokémon card heatmap of the Wizards of the Coast years, and each modern era has a map too: Sword & Shield, Scarlet & Violet and Mega Evolution. For sealed product there is a booster box heatmap and an Elite Trainer Box heatmap.

Fantasy sports heatmaps

A fantasy game is a market too: players have prices, and managers buy and sell them. The FPL heatmap is a Fantasy Premier League analytics tool that shows the 250 most owned players, sized by ownership and colored by this gameweek's transfers, which is what moves FPL prices. The NFL fantasy heatmap does the same for fantasy football: who managers are adding and dropping this week, by position, which makes it a map of the waiver wire. The F1 Fantasy heatmap shows every driver and constructor with the price change after the last race and over the season.

Game skin and item heatmaps

Skins are traded for real money, and their prices move with every case, update and tournament. The CS2 skins heatmap shows the 250 most traded Counter-Strike 2 skins: knives, gloves, AK-47s, AWPs and cases, each with its picture on the tile. The Rust skins heatmap and the Dota 2 items heatmap do the same for their games.

How to use a heatmap

Click the name of a map to switch to another one, or pick one from the menu. Change the period to see the same market over an hour, a day, a week or a month. Where trading volume is known you can size the tiles by volume instead of market cap, which shows where the money is moving rather than where it sits. Click a group name to zoom into one sector, scroll or pinch to zoom anywhere, and hover over a tile for its price and chart. Fullscreen turns any map into a wall display.

Where the data comes from

Crypto maps refresh every 15 seconds while a page is open, stock, commodity and currency maps every minute. Pokémon card prices, skin sales and house prices update as often as their sources do, from daily to quarterly. Every page names its sources under the map, and the about page lists them all. MarketHeat is free, needs no account and shows no ads. It is a visualization tool, not investment advice.
