AI Signal Metrics
Every metric shown in the AI Analysis widget is computed from on-chain data, market structure, and natural-language models. This page explains what each signal measures, how to interpret it, and the methodology behind it.
Core Signals
Risk Score
Core SignalsComposite risk index (0–100)
Range
0 (safest) → 100 (riskiest)
How to read it
Below 30 = low risk. 30–70 = moderate. Above 70 = elevated — consider smaller position sizes.
Methodology
Blends volatility (annualised standard deviation of returns), liquidity depth (order-book slippage estimate), smart-contract exposure (audit score inversion), and market-cap concentration (Herfindahl index on holders). Each sub-factor is normalised 0–100 and weighted before aggregation. A score above 70 does not mean "don't buy" — it means the asset carries statistically higher drawdown risk and warrants tighter risk management.
Momentum
Core SignalsPrice action + volume trend composite
Range
0 → 100
How to read it
Above 70 = strong bullish trend. 30–70 = neutral. Below 30 = weakening or bearish trend.
Methodology
Rate-of-change is computed across three windows (1d, 7d, 30d) and blended with relative volume (today's volume vs 20-day average). Each window is exponentially weighted so near-term moves carry more influence. The result is normalised to 0–100 using a rolling percentile against the token's own history, making it meaningful even for low-cap assets.
Sentiment
Core SignalsNLP sentiment from news and community signals
Range
0 (very negative) → 100 (very positive)
How to read it
Above 60 = positive market mood. 40–60 = neutral. Below 40 = fear or negative press.
Methodology
A fine-tuned FinBERT model scores recent news headlines, social-media posts, and community forum activity on a –1 to +1 scale. Scores are volume-weighted (viral posts count more) and time-decayed (events older than 72h lose weight). The raw score is mapped to 0–100. Extreme readings (> 85 or < 15) often precede short-term mean reversions due to sentiment exhaustion.
TSMOM
Core SignalsTime-series momentum signal
Range
–100 (sustained downtrend) → +100 (sustained uptrend)
How to read it
Positive = trend-following environment. Negative = downtrend. Near zero = choppy / trendless.
Methodology
Implements the classic Moskowitz–Ooi–Pedersen time-series momentum factor. Returns over 1, 3, 6, and 12-month look-backs are sign-weighted and normalised by realised volatility to give a volatility-adjusted momentum score. A positive TSMOM means the asset has been trending up persistently across most look-back windows — conditions historically associated with trend-continuation. A negative score suggests the opposite.
Advanced Signals
Hurst Exponent
Advanced SignalsPrice persistence / mean-reversion indicator
Range
0 → 1
How to read it
H > 0.55 = trending (momentum strategies outperform). H < 0.45 = mean-reverting (range strategies outperform). H ≈ 0.5 = random walk.
Methodology
Computed via rescaled range (R/S) analysis over a 90-day rolling window. The Hurst exponent measures the long-range dependence of the price series. Values significantly above 0.5 indicate that past returns are positively correlated with future returns (persistence) — a tailwind for trend-following. Values below 0.5 indicate negative autocorrelation — the price tends to snap back after moves, favouring mean-reversion strategies. This is a regime indicator, not a directional signal.
Volume Z-Score
Advanced SignalsStandard deviations of today's volume from 30-day mean
Range
Typically –3 → +5 (unbounded)
How to read it
Above +2 or below –2 = statistically unusual volume that often precedes significant price moves.
Methodology
Z = (today's volume − 30d mean) / 30d standard deviation. A high positive Z-score means today saw a volume spike relative to recent history — often the first signal of institutional activity, news impact, or whale accumulation/distribution. A negative Z-score means unusually quiet trading, which can precede a squeeze. Note: the direction of price impact depends on whether the volume is buy- or sell-driven; the Z-score alone is not directional.
ATR Compression
Advanced SignalsVolatility percentile — detecting coiling price action
Range
0 → 100 (percentile over 90 days)
How to read it
Below 30 = volatility is compressed ("coiling") — breakout risk is elevated. Above 70 = volatility is expanding.
Methodology
Average True Range (ATR) is computed as a 14-day rolling average of (high − low, |high − prev close|, |low − prev close|). The result is normalised to a 0–100 percentile over the past 90 trading days. Low percentile readings mean price has been unusually calm relative to its own recent history — a pattern that historically precedes sharp directional expansions. High percentile readings mean the asset is already in a volatility expansion phase.
Explosion Readiness
Advanced SignalsComposite breakout-setup likelihood score
Range
0 → 100
How to read it
Above 70 = conditions historically associated with sharp directional moves. 30–70 = building setup. Below 30 = not primed.
Methodology
A weighted combination of three sub-signals: ATR Compression (is volatility coiled?), Volume Build-up (is volume quietly accumulating ahead of a move?), and TSMOM Alignment (is the trend direction confirmed?). Each sub-signal contributes 33% to the composite. The score is calibrated so that readings above 70 occur in the top ~15% of all historical observations for this asset — not a guarantee of a move, but a meaningful elevation in probability.
Market Regime
Advanced SignalsHidden Markov Model regime classification (0–1)
Range
0 (bear) → 1 (bull)
How to read it
Above 0.6 = bull regime. Below 0.4 = bear regime. 0.4–0.6 = transitional / sideways.
Methodology
A two-state Hidden Markov Model is trained on the 90-day rolling returns and volatility of the broad crypto market (BTC-weighted). The model outputs the posterior probability of being in the "bull" hidden state. High values (> 0.6) indicate macro tailwinds — trend-following strategies historically outperform in this regime. Low values (< 0.4) indicate macro headwinds — defensive positioning and shorter time horizons are typically rewarded. This is a market-wide signal, not token-specific.
On-chain / Social
Anomaly
On-chain / SocialOn-chain statistical anomaly detection
Range
0 = normal · 1 = anomaly detected
How to read it
Detected (≥ 0.5) means the model flagged statistically unusual on-chain activity worth investigating.
Methodology
An Isolation Forest model is trained on a 60-day baseline of four on-chain metrics: daily transaction count, active address count, exchange inflow, and exchange outflow. Each day the model scores the current observation. A score ≥ 0.5 means today's on-chain fingerprint is an outlier relative to the trailing baseline. Anomalies can be bullish (e.g., unusual accumulation) or bearish (e.g., exchange inflow spike suggesting sell pressure) — always investigate what type of anomaly it is.
Whale Activity
On-chain / SocialLarge wallet on-chain movement score
Range
0 (quiet) → 1 (very active)
How to read it
Above 0.5 = whales are actively moving coins. Can precede significant price action in either direction.
Methodology
Counts on-chain transfers of > $100,000 USD equivalent in the past 24 hours, normalised against a 30-day rolling average. The normalised score is then mapped to 0–1. High activity does not indicate direction — a whale moving tokens to an exchange may be preparing to sell, while a move to a cold wallet may signal long-term accumulation. Use alongside CVD (cumulative volume delta) from the trading bot signals for directional context.
BTC Correlation
On-chain / Social30-day rolling Pearson correlation with Bitcoin
Range
–1 (inverse) → +1 (perfect correlation)
How to read it
High positive correlation = the token tracks the crypto market. Low or negative = uncorrelated / independent price driver.
Methodology
Computed as the Pearson correlation of daily log-returns between this token and BTC over the trailing 30 calendar days. A reading near +1 means the token rises and falls with Bitcoin — macro crypto sentiment drives price. A reading near 0 means the token has its own idiosyncratic price driver (product launches, protocol events, tokenomics). A negative reading is rare but indicates inverse price behaviour relative to BTC. This metric helps size position risk during broad market sell-offs.
