Live Bitcoin Price Chart — Minimal Single-File HTML with Binance WebSocket

Create a single HTML file that displays a live, auto-updating Bitcoin (BTC/USDT) price chart. Requirements: - **Single file**: All HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in one file (CDN links are fine) - **Data source**: Binance WebSocket API (`wss://stream.binance.com:9443/ws/btcusdt@trade`) for real-time price data - **Charting**: Use Chart.js (or similar lightweight library via CDN) to render a clean line chart - **Live updates**: Chart should update in real-time as new trades come in (throttle updates to ~1 per second to keep it smooth) - **Minimal design**: Dark theme, clean typography, show current price prominently above the chart - **Time window**: Display the last 5 minutes of price data, with old points rolling off - **Responsive**: Should look good on both desktop and mobile - Keep it simple, elegant, and under 200 lines if possible

What This Does

Under 90 lines — a complete, single-file live BTC chart that hits every requirement:

RequirementImplementation
Single fileAll HTML/CSS/JS inline; Chart.js + date adapter via CDN
Binance WebSocketConnects to btcusdt@trade stream, auto-reconnects on disconnect
Real-time chartChart.js line chart with time x-axis, updates via chart.update('none') for zero animation overhead
ThrottlingStores every tick but only redraws at most once per second
5-min windowwhile loop trims any data point older than 5 minutes on each update
Dark themeGitHub-dark inspired palette (#0d1117 bg, #58a6ff line, subtle grid)
Current priceLarge prominent display with green/red color flash on direction change
Connection statusLive dot indicator, auto-reconnect with status text
ResponsiveFlexbox layout, maintainAspectRatio: false, fluid canvas, works on mobile

Key design choices:

  • animation: false prevents Chart.js from queuing hundreds of transitions
  • Subtle fill under the line (rgba with 8% opacity) adds depth without clutter
  • tension: 0.3 gives smooth Bézier curves instead of jagged lines
  • pointRadius: 0 keeps the chart clean at high data density (~300 points over 5 min)
