What the Crypto Risk Score measures
The Risk Score rates each of the top 200 cryptocurrencies from -100 to +100. It answers a single question: how stretched is current market behaviour? Positive scores indicate upward pressure and negative scores indicate downward pressure. The further a score sits from zero in either direction, the more stretched conditions are and the more likely a move is to mean-revert. A score near zero means the market is quiet, not that it is safe. It is an algorithmic reading of market activity, not a price prediction.
How the Frenzy Indicator works
Frenzy measures turnover โ 24-hour trading volume divided by market capitalisation. It captures how much of a coin's supply is actually changing hands, which is a different signal from how far the price has moved. A coin can drift upward on thin volume, or churn heavily while going nowhere. High frenzy readings mark the coins where traders are most active right now, and they often precede sharp moves in either direction.
Reading the Volatility rating
Volatility is derived from the size of the 24-hour move, regardless of direction. The three readings combine into the final Risk Score with trend weighted at 50%, frenzy at 30% and volatility at 20%, then scaled by a gravity factor based on market capitalisation. That factor matters because a 30% weekly move in a small-cap token is ordinary, while the same move in a top-ten asset is not.
