Visualizing Cryptocurrency Market Dominance with a Non-Overlapping Tag Cloud

Summary

This experimental chart indicator displays market-capitalization dominance readings for a set of major crypto assets and aggregate categories. Each asset is represented by a labeled rectangle whose dimensions scale with its dominance value. The script retrieves the readings from separate dominance series, then assigns randomized positions and checks rectangle overlap before drawing the display. Labels can appear within the rectangles or along the side, and the boxes can shift over time.

The visualization is intended to make relative dominance easier to scan at a glance; it does not define trade entries, exits, or a forecasting model. The implementation uses a fixed collection of symbols and a randomized placement procedure, so the layout is a display aid rather than a stable analytical ranking. The source is explicitly experimental and offers no performance evidence or guidance on how dominance changes should be translated into portfolio decisions. Results may also depend on the platform’s available data and chart context.

Key ideas

• The indicator compares dominance readings across a fixed collection of crypto assets and categories.
• Rectangle dimensions represent each asset’s dominance value, while labels identify the series and reading.
• Random placement and overlap checks help arrange boxes without collisions.
• Display options control whether labels sit inside the visualization or along its side, and whether boxes move.
• The tag cloud is an experimental visualization rather than a tested trading signal.
