Methodology

This page explains where our data comes from and how we produce the prices, charts, statistics and scenario forecasts you see across Market Capitalize.

Market data

Cryptocurrency prices, market caps, supply and volume are aggregated from established market data providers and exchanges and cached briefly for performance. Stock prices, charts and fundamentals (market cap, P/E, EPS, dividends, 52-week ranges, analyst ratings) are sourced from public market data feeds. Because markets trade continuously, all figures reflect the time shown and may be delayed.

Price forecasts & scenarios

Forecasts on our coin pages are scenario-based — bear, base and bull — generated algorithmically from recent price action and volatility to illustrate possible ranges. They are illustrative, not predictions or guarantees, and must never be read as financial advice.

Analyst ratings

Stock “consensus” ratings and price targets are aggregated from publicly available analyst data. They represent third-party opinions, not our recommendations.

Limitations

No model can predict markets. Data can contain errors or gaps; where data is unavailable we show it as such rather than guess. If you spot an inaccuracy, please tell us via Corrections.
