Question 1

What is BubbleMarkets?

Accepted Answer

BubbleMarkets is a free interactive bubble chart platform that visualizes financial markets across every major asset class. It covers US stocks, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, forex pairs and commodities in a single interface, with each asset shown as a bubble sized by market capitalization or volume and colored by performance.

Question 2

How is BubbleMarkets different from Crypto Bubbles?

Accepted Answer

Crypto Bubbles visualizes cryptocurrencies only. BubbleMarkets applies the same bubble-chart approach to stocks, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, forex pairs and commodities, which means you can compare performance across markets rather than within a single one.

Question 3

Is BubbleMarkets free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BubbleMarkets is free to use and requires no account to view the bubble charts.

Question 4

What is a bubble chart in finance?

Accepted Answer

A bubble chart in finance is a visualization where each asset is drawn as a circle whose size represents one variable — typically market capitalization or trading volume — and whose color and position represent another, usually price performance over a chosen timeframe. It lets a viewer assess an entire market's structure and momentum in seconds rather than scanning a table row by row.

Question 5

What asset classes does BubbleMarkets cover?

Accepted Answer

BubbleMarkets covers US stocks (~1,500 most-traded), ETFs (~200 funds), cryptocurrencies (~16,000 coins), forex (~130 currencies plus ~1,900 cross-rate pairs) and commodities (24 major contracts across metals, energy, grains, softs and livestock).

Question 6

How often does the data update?

Accepted Answer

Market data on BubbleMarkets refreshes continuously during market hours, with cryptocurrency and forex data updating around the clock.

Question 7

Can I compare different asset classes on the same chart?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BubbleMarkets' multi-asset view lets you display stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex and commodities within one platform, which is not possible on single-asset-class visualizers.

Question 8

Do I need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. BubbleMarkets runs in any modern web browser with no download or installation required.

Question 9

How do the bubbles work?

Accepted Answer

Each bubble is one asset. Its size reflects market capitalisation (you can also size by volume or percentage change), and its colour reflects the price move over the selected timeframe — 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. Green means the price is up, red means it is down.
