Cryptobubbles watchlist favorites, saved groups, and chart settings

Selected coins define the comparison group

A saved list gives particular coins a common place for monitoring, with membership reflecting your own selections. This differs from a broad market view, where inclusion follows the available market coverage. It also differs from a category filter, which groups assets by a shared classification. These selections can overlap without producing identical groups.

List membership changes the scope of a comparison. Leading your saved group does not establish that a coin leads the broader market. Likewise, a mostly positive watchlist describes its own members. The selection provides useful focus, although it leaves movements outside the group out of that comparison.

Chart configurations determine what favorites show

Once the relevant coins share a list, the chart configuration determines which relationship the bubbles emphasize. Cryptobubbles lets users customize bubble size, color, and displayed content. A setting that emphasizes price movement answers a different question from one that emphasizes market capitalization. The coin selection can remain unchanged while the meaning of a large bubble changes.

Market capitalization values circulating supply at a reference price, while trading volume describes reported activity over its measurement period. Price performance describes movement between comparison points. These measurements concern the asset, regardless of why someone saved it. Choosing a favorite supplies no information about the amount that you hold.

Keep the meaning of each visual property separate because size and color can communicate different measurements within one configuration.

A hypothetical switch from valuation to performance

In this hypothetical example, a reader keeps the watchlist, period, and quote currency fixed. One selected coin has the highest market capitalization, while another has the largest percentage movement. Market capitalization determines relative bubble size in the valuation chart, while the selected performance measure determines size in the performance chart.

The coin with the highest market capitalization is largest in the valuation chart. Switching to performance makes the other coin the largest bubble. Direction still requires the applicable color setting or displayed percentage. Adding or removing a favorite would change the comparison group; changing the period would change the performance comparison.

Common periods and currencies keep comparisons consistent

For a performance comparison within the watchlist, each figure needs the same time basis and quote currency. Timeframes change the interval that a percentage describes. Changing that interval can change which favorite leads the group, even when membership stays fixed. A quote currency also sets the basis for displayed prices and relative performance. Comparing differently configured displays requires attention to both settings.

Coin details add context to a watched movement

When a favorite attracts attention, its coin details provide numerical context beyond its bubble's prominence. Selecting a bubble opens individual statistics and charts for the selected coin. The price chart provides context for the movement. A prominent circle alone does not explain the cause of a price change.

Sortable list views support numerical comparisons by price, performance, market capitalization, and volume. The selected measure determines the ranking: volume concerns reported activity, while performance concerns price movement over the selected interval.

Saved lists stay with the browser or app

Cryptobubbles stores watchlists and favorites locally on the device. The website uses browser local storage, and the mobile apps use an equivalent local mechanism. These saved lists do not go to the service's servers. Opening another browser or installing the app elsewhere does not automatically reproduce them.

Ordinary browser local storage persists between sessions, while private browsing has different retention rules. Closing the last private tab clears its private-session storage. Browser settings can also prevent a site from storing preferences. Clearing stored site data or reinstalling the app resets the saved choices, so persistence requires retaining that local data.

Local list storage does not make all service activity private. Cryptobubbles uses third-party analytics and may log anonymous visits separately from saved watchlists.

Changes to the group change the interpretation

A stable selection helps separate movement in watched coins from changes in the group itself. Adding a coin expands the comparison, and removing one narrows it. Either change can alter the apparent balance of gains and losses without describing price movement across the previous membership. The wider market can still provide context for a selected group's behavior. If membership changes, the new view includes a different selection, which limits direct comparisons with the previous group.
