Analysing multiple
crypto simultaneously
Watching multiple charts at the same time isn't a luxury — it's a necessity for understanding the market in context. Multi-chart analysis lets you monitor multiple pairs, compare timeframes, and detect correlations in real time, without juggling between tabs.
Why analyse multiple charts simultaneously?
A chart in isolation tells you how an asset behaves, but not why. The market context — what Bitcoin, Ethereum, leading altcoins, and macro indices are doing — is essential for making better decisions. Multi-chart monitoring offers:
- Global market context — See whether an altcoin's decline is specific to that asset or reflects a broader crypto correction.
- Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis — Display the same pair on H1, H4, and Daily simultaneously to align short, medium, and long-term signals.
- Real-time correlations — Observe how ETH reacts when BTC moves, or compare two altcoins from the same sector.
- Multiple opportunity monitoring — Track several setups at the same time without constantly switching assets.
Choosing your layout
The choice of layout depends on your primary objective and screen size. Here are the 7 layouts available on CrypView:
| Layout | Panels | Ideal use |
|---|---|---|
| Multi 2 | 2 side by side | BTC/ETH comparison or same asset on 2 TFs |
| Multi 4 (2×2) | 4 in grid | Portfolio of 4 pairs or complete MTF analysis |
| Multi 9 (3×3) | 9 in grid | Visual screener on large screen |
| Vertical 2 | 2 stacked | Same pair, short and long TF stacked |
| Vertical 3 | 3 stacked | 3-level MTF analysis (15m / H1 / H4) |
| 1+2 | 1 large + 2 | Main chart + 2 context charts |
| 1+3 | 1 large + 3 | Main chart + 3 monitoring charts |
The 1+2 or 1+3 layout: the active trader's favourite
The asymmetric layout (one large panel + smaller ones) is often the most effective for active trading. The large panel is dedicated to the pair you're considering entering (with all your active indicators), while the smaller panels show context: BTC on H4, the relevant sector, or the same pair on a higher TF.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis
Multi-Timeframe analysis is one of the most powerful applications of multi-charts. The principle is simple: identify the trend on the higher TF, look for entries on the lower TF.
The 3-TF rule
Stan Weinstein and Alexander Elder popularised 3-level timeframe analysis. Here's a typical configuration for crypto trading:
- Higher TF (background trend) — Daily or Weekly. Determines directional bias. Never enter against this TF.
- Intermediate TF (setup) — H4 or H1. Identifies the entry setup (RSI divergence, range breakout, level retest).
- Entry TF (trigger) — 15m or 5m. Pinpoints the exact entry point for minimal risk.
Concrete example: ETH/USDT in MTF
Panel 1 (Daily): ETH in uptrend, above EMA 200, RSI at 58 — clear bullish bias. Panel 2 (H4): Bullish RSI divergence, price retesting a key support. Panel 3 (15m): Reversal candle (doji, hammer) at the H4 support. Maximum confluence → high-quality buy setup.
Crypto correlations to monitor
Cryptos don't move independently. These correlations are essential to monitor:
- BTC as lead indicator — Bitcoin often dictates the direction of the entire market. A BTC resistance break on H4 frequently precedes a generalised altcoin rally.
- ETH/BTC ratio — Displaying ETH/USDT and ETH/BTC simultaneously reveals whether ETH is outperforming or underperforming Bitcoin. A rising ETH/BTC = rotation into ETH altcoins (DeFi, NFT).
- Same-sector pairs — Comparing SOL, AVAX, and NEAR on the same multi-chart reveals which is the sector leader (the one that moves first) and which ones follow.
- BTC dominance proxy — Though not directly available on Binance, the trend of an altcoin basket (ETH, BNB, SOL, ADA) gives you a proxy for the market's risk appetite.
Panel synchronisation
CrypView offers two types of synchronisation between multi-chart panels:
- Crosshair Sync — The cursor moves simultaneously across all panels at the same timestamp. Essential for comparing two assets at the same moment.
- Zoom/Pan Sync — Zooming or scrolling in one panel applies the same zoom/scroll to all others. Useful for MTF analysis on the same pair.
- MTF Drawing Sync — Drawings (trendlines, zones, Fibonacci) are automatically shared across all panels displaying the same symbol, regardless of timeframe.
These synchronisations can be enabled/disabled independently from the sync bar at the top of multi-chart pages.
Multi-chart monitoring strategies
"Visual watchlist" configuration
Use Multi 9 (3×3) as a permanent visual watchlist. Configure 9 pairs from your watchlist on the same timeframe (H1 or H4). At a glance, you identify which assets are forming interesting setups (compressions, retests, visible divergences) without having to analyse them one by one.
"Active position" configuration
When you're in a trade, use the 1+3 layout: large panel = your pair on your entry TF, panel 2 = same pair on higher TF (stop management), panel 3 = BTC on H1 (market context), panel 4 = a pair from the same sector (sector confirmation).
"MTF analysis" configuration
Vertical 3 layout: same pair on Daily / H4 / H1. Enable Crosshair Sync to navigate history simultaneously. Draw your key levels on the Daily — they appear automatically on the other two TFs thanks to MTF Drawing Sync.
Multi-Charts on CrypView
CrypView offers 7 multi-chart layouts accessible directly from the homepage or the context menu (right-click → Multi-Charts). Each panel is fully independent: symbol, timeframe, active indicators, and drawing state are managed separately.
- From page.html, right-click → Multi-Charts to choose your layout
- Or access directly: Multi 2 · Multi 4 · Multi 9 · Vertical 3 · 1+3
- Configure each panel independently: click in a panel to activate it, then change the symbol or TF
- Enable synchronisation from the bar at the top of the page
- Save your configuration with Workspaces (right-click → Workspaces)
Workspaces let you save up to 15 multi-chart configurations, restorable with one click. See the Multi-Charts Wiki for full documentation.
