Learn FlowPulse
FlowPulse watches the crypto market continuously and translates what it sees into language anyone can follow. Here is the whole pipeline, and then every number it puts on screen.
How it works
We pull live market data
Prices, volume, and market structure come from CoinGecko. Market sentiment comes from the widely used Fear & Greed index (alternative.me). We don't make the data — we read the same feeds the rest of the market reads.
Signals score what's moving
Each tracked coin gets a signal score from 0 to 100 based on its recent price movement, momentum, and volume. A rising score means activity is strengthening; a falling score means it's fading. The score describes what the market is doing right now — it is not a prediction of what it will do next.
Everything gets translated
Numbers alone don't help most people. So every score comes with plain-English context: what changed, which drivers moved it, and how it compares to yesterday. The "What changed" view on each coin shows the last few score transitions with the reason for each one.
You watch what matters to you
Star coins to build a watchlist, set alerts so meaningful moves find you instead of the other way round, and get a once-a-day summary of what happened while you were away.
Ask AI when you want more
Every coin has an "Explain this signal" button that asks our AI to walk through what's happening in that market, in plain language. It explains — it never advises.
What every number means
Every threshold below is the one the app actually uses. If a number on your screen changed, one of these rules is why.
Signal score
How much is happening with this coin right now, from 0 to 100. It is a measure of activity, not of direction — a coin falling hard scores high.
Built from four things, weighted: the 24-hour move (×18), the move across the last 5 live readings (×25), the move across the last 10 (×15), and whether the pace is accelerating (×20). The result is then rescaled against the rest of the tracked set, so the most active coin right now always reads 100.Why that last part matters: a score of 100 on a quiet day is not the same amount of movement as a 100 on a busy one. It means "the most active thing we can see", not "extremely active". Read it next to the 24-hour percentage, which is absolute.
Strength — Strong, Medium, Weak
The signal score in three words, so you can scan a list without reading numbers.
Strong is a score of 70 or more. Medium is 40 to 69. Weak is under 40.A coin has to hold a new band for 3 readings in a row before the label changes. That is deliberate: without it, a coin sitting on 69–71 would flicker between Medium and Strong every few seconds and the label would be noise.
Confidence
How firmly the data supports the reading — High, Medium or Low.
The same bands as strength: High at 70+, Medium at 40–69, Low under 40.Confidence is about the evidence, not about a forecast. High confidence means several independent measures agree that this coin is active. It is not a statement that the move will continue.
Momentum and trend
Which way the activity itself is heading, rather than which way the price is.
Increasing or Decreasing at a score of 70+, up or down respectively. Building or Fading at 40–69. Low under 40. Trend is the same scale in one word: Strong, Building, Weak.Example: a coin down 3% with momentum "Decreasing" is falling and the fall is getting stronger. A coin down 3% with momentum "Fading" is falling but running out of steam.
Volatility
How sharply this coin is moving, as a traffic light.
High when the 24-hour move is 3% or more, or the score is 90+. Medium at 1.5% or a score of 70+. Low otherwise.Red, amber and green here are a familiar scale, not our brand colours and not a price direction. High volatility is a description of the ride, not a warning to act.
Major move (the bolt mark)
A move big enough to stand out on its own, whichever way it went.
A 24-hour move of 8% or more, up or down.The bolt icon tells you the size. The colour tells you the direction — green for up, red for down — so you get both at a glance without reading the number.
Why this signal — drivers and what would change it
The reasons behind a score, ranked, plus what would weaken the reading.
The top 3 contributing factors, ordered by how much they moved the score, followed by the conditions that would undo it.The second half is the part worth reading. A signal that only ever lists its supporting evidence is a sales pitch; naming what would weaken it is what makes it an explanation.
What changed — the score history
The last few times a coin's score actually moved, and the reason for each.
A reading is recorded when the score shifts by 3 points or more, or after 30 minutes with no change. Up to 30 readings are kept per coin.This history lives in your browser, not on our servers. A brand-new visit has none, and a quiet market adds none — an empty panel there means nothing has happened, not that something is broken.
Market Health
One read on the whole market: a ring and a word.
The ring is breadth — the share of tracked coins that are up over 24 hours. The word inside it comes from total 24-hour trading volume across the market: Calm under $80B, Active from $80B, Volatile from $150B.Example: a ring at 30 with "Volatile" means a lot of money is moving and most of it is moving down. Breadth and volume answer different questions, which is why both are shown.
Alerts and their priority
Which alerts shout and which ones don't.
Major at a score of 90+. Important at 70+. Normal below that. A major move — 8% or more in 24 hours — outranks all three. Alerts for the same coin within 5 minutes are grouped into one card.You can set your own thresholds per coin in Profile: the move size that raises an alert, and the size treated as a big one.
BTC dominance and Fear & Greed
Two market-wide readings that come from outside FlowPulse.
BTC dominance is the share of total crypto market value held in Bitcoin. Fear & Greed is a 0–100 sentiment index published by alternative.me — under 25 is extreme fear, over 75 is extreme greed.Neither is ours and neither is a forecast. Fear & Greed describes the mood right now, which is not the same thing as what the mood is about to do.
We keep score on ourselves
The Track Record page logs how signals played out, openly. If a strong signal fizzled, you see that too. We would rather show an honest record than a flattering one.
How the track record is scored
A signal is logged the moment a coin's score crosses 70 upward. Twenty-four hours later the price is checked once. A move of 2% or more counts as correct.Read the two percentages separately, because they answer different questions. Activity accuracy counts a 2% move in either direction — it asks "was this coin genuinely about to be active?", which is what the signal claims. Direction accuracy counts only moves of 2% or more the way the signal called. The first is the honest test of what we say we do. The second is the harder number, and we publish it anyway.
What FlowPulse is not
It's not a trading bot, not a signal-selling service, and not financial advice. We describe market activity so you can understand it faster. What you do with that understanding is entirely up to you.
