Find your way around Research Desk¶

Start with a question: what happened to this asset, how did a group behave, or what is in today’s briefing? These short visual walkthroughs show you where to go and what to click.

Open Research Desk

Actual Research screens captured on 16 September 2026. These are static examples, not live quotes. Select any screenshot to view it full size.

Investigate a price move¶

Open an asset from Markets or Tickers, then select a move with A → B. Add the readings that answer your next question: trading activity, funding, positioning or liquidity.

Bitcoin chart with a shaded A-to-B selection, layer controls and endpoint comparison — **Choose the move, then inspect the evidence.** Here, A and B select completed hourly candles on 15–16 September for Bitcoin. The panel shows the endpoint comparison; **What does this mean?** requests the range explanation. View full size.

Compare crypto groups¶

Choose Group A, Group B, a benchmark and a period in Cohorts. Start with their price journeys, then explore the members or relationships behind the lines. A and B are your chosen groups—not ratings.

DeFi and AI cohort performance against Bitcoin, with group selectors, dates and replay controls — **Compare journeys, not just the final number.** DeFi, AI & Data Solutions and Bitcoin share the same seven-day axis. The legend gives the represented member counts; **Play replay** reveals how the lines developed. View full size.

Read the briefing, inspect the evidence¶

Today brings the latest published Market Update into a chapter-by-chapter reading experience. Move between the written briefing, the original video and its recorded charts.

Desk Brief with a selected Zcash chapter, a recorded price chart and a chapter video button — **Read, watch, then investigate.** The 16 September edition’s Zcash chapter sits beside its recorded evidence. **Watch from 1:50** opens that part of the show; **Open ZEC-USD workspace** moves into Research.

Browser research and chat research¶

Research gives you a larger workspace with direct chart and group controls. The MCP widgets give your assistant focused views and source readings in a conversation. Both use the same Research API.

The dashboard's range explanation is calculated by fixed rules from the selected history. Your assistant can use that evidence for a broader discussion, with its own interpretation. The recorded Market Update is a third thing: published editorial reporting, preserved at its publication time.

An Open in Research link from chat takes you to the relevant ticker or section. It does not transfer every local widget setting or conversation selection. Saved personal workspaces and portfolios are not part of this first version.

Is this market unusually quiet or active?¶

The combined market regime and volatility guide explains the hourly context panel: its 4-hour, 1-day and 7-day variation horizons, the historical percentile window and the frozen state colours. You can open it beside a ticker workspace or as a focused widget in chat.
