Use Proliquid Heatmap to scan crypto market performance by exchange, volume, or open interest and quickly find the strongest or weakest markets.

Each tile represents a market. Tile size can be grouped by volume or open interest, and color is based on the 24-hour percentage change. Green tiles are outperforming; red tiles are underperforming.

Use Heatmap to spot outliers:

* Strong markets on a red day.
* Weak markets on a green day.
* High-volume names absorbing or leading a move.
* Sectors where many related markets are moving together.

You can select supported exchanges including Hyperliquid, Binance, Bybit, and OKX.

## What the data means

| Metric                     | What it means                                                           | What to check next                                                                                                   |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Tile size by volume        | Larger tiles traded more notional value.                                | Use [Screener](/features/crypto-screener-for-hyperliquid-traders.md) to confirm short-window volume and trade count. |
| Tile size by open interest | Larger tiles have more outstanding perp exposure.                       | Check whether open interest is rising with price or only concentrated in one market.                                 |
| 24-hour color              | Green markets are up over 24 hours; red markets are down over 24 hours. | Use [Compare](/features/compare.md) to see relative performance from a custom start point.                           |
| Outlier tile               | A market differs strongly from the rest of the board.                   | Open it in [Terminal](/features/hyperliquid-trading-terminal.md) and validate chart, orderbook, and news context.    |
| Sector movement            | Several related markets move together.                                  | Check whether the move comes from news, broad risk appetite, or funding pressure.                                    |

## Trading workflow

1. Open [proliquid.xyz/heatmap](https://www.proliquid.xyz/heatmap).
2. Select the exchange and grouping method.
3. Look for large tiles with unusual color relative to the rest of the market.
