TC Inside
The market in numbers · free
Who's buying, who's selling — and where is the money flowing?
Sentiment index, funding imbalance, whale positioning, and stablecoin movement on one page. Plus a daily AI briefing that turns the numbers into a readable market report — derivatives, TradFi context, capital rotation.
Anomalies nobody else reports
Extreme funding rates, spikes in open interest, liquidation clusters, max-pain magnets: pattern detection checks every five minutes and logs what stands out — with an explanation of what it means.
Top 100 in real time
Prices, 24-hour and 7-day performance, market cap, and volume — in dollars or euros, your choice. Every coin links to a detail page with chart, metrics, and translated news.
What the futures markets cost
Funding rates across all major exchanges, with history and outliers. Whoever shorts while everyone is long pays — or gets paid. This is where you see when it's worth it.
The dates that move the market
Fed meetings, inflation figures, labor-market data, ECB decisions — with forecast, actual, and prior values. So a breakout doesn't surprise you when its trigger has been sitting in the calendar for weeks.
TC Charts
Charting for professionals
Charting that thinks along with you
Candles, volume profile, CVD, and freely combinable indicators. Drawing tools with magnet snapping, multiple views side by side, watchlist. The price data comes from the same source as Inside.
Patterns — with an honest hit rate
Double bottom, double top, trend lines: detected automatically and ranked by strength. Plus the measured truth from nine years of daily prices — 66% of breakout patterns reached their target, versus 49% for random price action. Strength alone says nothing about success.
