Crypto trend indicator (0–100)

The score is a weighted average of three components, each on a scale from 0 to 100: the trend from the moving-average grid (60% weight), market breadth (25% weight) and buying pressure (15% weight). Formula: 0.60 × trend + 0.25 × breadth + 0.15 × pressure, rounded to a whole number. Up to 33, the market is bearish (downtrend); from 67, it’s bullish (uptrend); in between, it’s neutral. We calculate it every hour.

EMA (exponential moving average) is an average of prices in which more recent candles carry more weight. For each coin on the list and each interval (15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day), we take the last 120 candles and calculate a 20-candle and a 50-candle EMA. A cell is up when EMA20 is above EMA50 and the price is above EMA20. It’s down when the opposite is true. Otherwise, it’s flat. Trend component = 50 + 50 × (up cells − down cells) ÷ all cells. The HornX Radar panel calculated the same grid.

It’s the percentage of cryptocurrencies that are in an uptrend. We take the 100 USDT pairs with the highest volume on Binance (excluding stablecoins) and check how many of them trade above their average price over the last 50 days (SMA50, simple moving average). Coins listed for less than 50 days are skipped. When only Bitcoin is rising, breadth is low, even if the trend grid looks good.

It’s the share of spot volume over the last 24 hours that was bought with market orders (taker), based on the same data as volume flow. The neutral point is 50%. We convert it to a 0–100 scale with the formula 50 + (share − 50%) × 10, so a 5-percentage-point edge to one side gives 0 or 100. This component has the smallest weight because it changes the fastest.

From a fixed list of 20 large cryptocurrencies on the Binance spot market (USDT pairs): BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, DOGE, ADA, LINK, AVAX, LTC, TRX, BCH, SUI, XLM, HBAR, DOT, UNI, NEAR, AAVE, HYPE. If Binance suspends trading in any of these pairs, we skip it until trading resumes. The list is fixed because a volume-based ranking changes every hour and would pull in coins mid-pump, making the score jump with no actual change in the market. We review the list manually once a month.

No. The indicator describes what the market has done over the last few hours and days. It doesn’t predict what it will do. A trend can reverse without warning, and when the score is close to a threshold, the label can change every hour.
