Lithium Watcher (Li)
From lithium mine to the road.
Lithium prices from three live sources — Lithium Hydroxide CME futures, the GSCI Lithium Index, and the LIT ETF — alongside mining stocks, EV manufacturers, prediction markets, sentiment, and a portfolio with realized profit tracking. Built for the EV-market wave.
What it does
Three live lithium prices
Lithium Hydroxide CME futures, the GSCI Lithium Index, and the LIT ETF — all updated throughout the trading day. Historical charts (1D, 1W, 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, 5Y), line or dot styles, rotate for fullscreen.
Mining stocks & battery ETFs
Lithium mining stocks (ALB, SQM, PLL, LAC) alongside LIT (Global X Lithium & Battery Tech) and KARS (KraneShares Electric Vehicles & Future Mobility) — the full battery-and-EV supply chain in one place.
EV Market compare chart
Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, NIO, XPeng, Li Auto, and BYD on a single compare chart. Each ticker gets its own fixed colour — no more red/green flipping based on direction — so the chart reads at a glance.
Portfolio with realized P&L
Track LIT, ALB, SQM, PLL, LAC, and other lithium-sector positions. Live P&L per position, gifts flagged separately, and realized profit logged across every closed position when you record a sale.
Prediction markets
Live Polymarket bets on the forces driving lithium demand — Tesla quarterly numbers, Rivian deliveries, EV sales targets, battery supply chains — pulled into a section of the Charts tab.
Smarter sentiment
A Bullish / Bearish / Neutral badge that blends short-term momentum, 50-day trend health, and news-headline tone into one signal.
Seasonal patterns
Average monthly lithium returns over the past 10 years — see which months have historically been strongest and weakest.
Multi-currency
View prices in USD, CAD, EUR, GBP, AUD, JPY, CHF, CNY, INR, and more. Pick one and the entire app switches.

What is the EV Market tab?
A dedicated tab tracking the major EV manufacturers — Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, NIO, XPeng, Li Auto, BYD — on a single compare chart. Each ticker gets its own fixed colour (no more red/green flipping based on direction) so you can read the chart at a glance.
How does the realized profit work when I sell?
When you sell a position, record the sale price and date — Lithium Watcher logs the realized gain and rolls it into a running cumulative profit across all of your closed positions. Gifts can be marked separately so they don't inflate the profit number.

What does the Smarter Sentiment badge do?
A Bullish / Bearish / Neutral indicator that blends short-term price momentum, the health of the 50-day trend, and the tone of recent news headlines into one signal.
What about seasonal patterns?
A 10-year average monthly return chart shows which months lithium has historically been strongest and weakest — useful for timing entries with data instead of guesswork.
