How Cyclesolved works

The thesis

Crypto is volatile, and there is way too much to watch. Prices move because of technical setups, on-chain flows, dev activity, investor sentiment, and broader market conditions, all at once, all in different directions. Most people either spend hours a day watching charts or give up and trade on vibes.

Cyclesolved condenses twenty signals across five categories into one transparent score per coin, so you can make an informed decision in 30 seconds, not 3 hours. No hype, no shilling. Every score shows its work.

How to read a score

Every coin gets a composite score from 0 to 100. It's the weighted average of five category subscores. Higher is a stronger buy signal at this moment in time.

Scores are bucketed:

• 80+ Strong buy: rare, only shows up when multiple categories align
• 70 to 79 Buy: solid setup worth considering
• 45 to 69 Neutral: no clear edge in either direction
• 30 to 44 Caution: signals are leaning negative
• <30 Avoid: material weakness in multiple areas

A score is a signal, not a command. Even a 90 is not "buy this, guaranteed." It means our scoring framework sees unusual alignment across categories. Your own research, risk tolerance, and position sizing still matter.

About the 0–100 scale

The number you see is on a fixed display scale — an honest re-expression of our internal composite so the bands read naturally. It never changes the ranking; it only stretches the same order onto a 0–100 range.

The five category scores are on this same scale. We build the composite to sit inside the range of its parts, so what you see reconciles: today a coin's composite reads at or below its strongest category. Check our work anytime.

Sentiment and macro rarely reach the upper bands, and that's a finding, not a bug. They measure market-wide conditions that are usually neutral — across the whole universe, our best-sentiment coin is still only neutral. We could stretch that to look like a strong score, but it would be telling you something the data doesn't support, so we don't. A mid-range read on sentiment or macro is normal.

Open any coin from the scanner to see the full breakdown: every metric, its current value, its individual score, a plain-English explanation, and an interactive price chart you can lay our score over (covered just below).

The colored dot next to each score

Not every coin has the same data coverage. Smaller coins sometimes lack on-chain or fundamentals metrics from our data providers. Rather than hide this fact and pretend every score is equally trustworthy, we mark each score with a small dot showing how complete the underlying data is:

Data coverage varies by coin, because different chains have different levels of available data. We're continuously sourcing more and better data, filling gaps as we find what's worth integrating.

Fourteen or twenty? Fourteen of our twenty signals are coin-specific metrics that depend on third-party data and can be missing for smaller coins; the dot tracks how many of those fourteen we have for a given coin. The other six are market-wide sentiment and macro signals, plus market-data-derived ratios, that are available for essentially every coin, so they don't factor into the coverage dot.

• Full coverage: all 14 coin-specific metrics available. Score is as reliable as our framework gets.
• Partial coverage: most metrics available but a category or two is missing. Usable signal, read with a pinch of salt.
• Limited coverage: most coin-specific data is missing. The score still reflects what we do know, but weigh it lightly.

On the coin drill-down page you'll see a badge under the header spelling out exactly which categories were available and which were missing. Low-coverage coins are not hidden or ranked down; they still sort by composite score alongside everything else. The dot is just transparency so you can decide how much weight to give it.

One thing we're still fixing

When a coin is missing whole categories of data, we currently drop those categories and score it on the ones we have, instead of counting the missing ones as neutral. Because the categories we keep usually score higher than the ones we lost, this can push a low-coverage coin's score above what full data would give it. We've measured it: on a recent day, 17 of 92 scored coins were affected at all, 4 moved by 5 or more display points, and the largest — Monad — sat about 10 points high. It's a known flaw with a fix queued; until it ships, treat the coverage dot as a cue to weigh a low-coverage score a little more lightly.

The price chart and score overlay

Open any coin and you'll find an interactive candlestick price chart. Candles show the open, high, low, and close for each period, so you read the actual price action instead of a single smoothed line. Switch the window with the 7d / 30d / 90d / 1y buttons. Short intraday timeframes like 1h and 4h live on the Heatmap, not here.

Lay our score over the price

The chart has a Score overlay toggle. It is off by default, so the candles read clean. Turn it on and we draw the coin's 0 to 100 composite score as a line right on top of the price. Price stays labeled on the left axis; the score gets its own labeled axis on the right, in real score units, so you can read both at a glance.

Press and drag across the chart to scrub a crosshair. It reads the date and the price at that point, plus the score when the overlay is on. Our score history builds up over time, so on a coin we started tracking recently the score line can be shorter than the price window. The chart tells you when that's the case.

What "divergence" tells you

The reason to overlay the two is divergence: the gap that opens up when the score and the price stop moving together. When our score is climbing while price lags behind, the underlying signals are strengthening before the market has repriced the coin. When price is running while the score falls, the rally is outrunning its fundamentals. Neither is a buy or a sell instruction, but that gap is the thing worth watching.

The five signal categories

Ways to use the app

However much time you have, there's a way in.

Where each tool lives

On the web, each tool has its own page, reachable from the top navigation: the Scanner, the Heatmap, Compare, Screener, Watchlist, Portfolio, Macro, and High Dev. Alerts are an iPhone-app feature (see below).

Compare

Put two coins head to head. Compare gives you an overall verdict up top (which coin leads, and by how many of the five categories), then a row of center-diverging bars, one per category, so you can see at a glance where each coin is stronger. Expand any category to see the individual metrics side by side, each with its value, its score, and a plain-English note. At the bottom, both coins' recent score history is overlaid on one chart so you can see how the gap between them has moved.

Open the Compare page and pick your two coins.

Screener

The Screener filters the entire scored universe down to just the coins that clear your bar. Add one or more rules on the composite score or any single category (Technical, On-chain, Fundamentals, Sentiment, Macro), each as a "greater than or equal to" or "less than or equal to" threshold. Rules stack with AND, so "composite at least 70 and Technical at least 60" returns only the coins that satisfy both, sorted by score.

Open the Screener page to build your filter.

Portfolio

Track what you actually hold. Log your buys and sells and the Portfolio keeps your net position, average cost, realized and unrealized profit and loss, your allocation across coins, and total value over time. A privacy toggle masks the dollar figures while keeping your allocation and scores visible.

The tracker is free. Value and profit-and-loss tracking work for any signed-in account at no cost. Scoring your holdings is a paid feature: the portfolio score, which rates your holdings by our model and shows how much of your portfolio sits in strong versus weak coins, is locked for non-subscribers. Start a trial or subscribe to unlock it.

Open the Portfolio page. It's tied to your account, so sign in first.

Alerts

Alerts push a notification to your phone the moment something you care about happens, so you don't have to keep checking. Alerts are an iPhone-app feature; there is no alerts page on the web.

Per-coin alerts

• Score crosses a level fires when a coin's composite score crosses a threshold you set, either up or down.
• Rating changes fires when a coin moves into a different bucket, for example from Neutral into Buy.
• Score moves sharply fires when a coin's score jumps or drops by at least the number of points you choose between refreshes.
• Price crosses a level fires when price crosses your target, up or down.
• Large token unlock fires a set number of days before a big scheduled unlock, when we have unlock data for the coin.
• Daily watchlist digest sends one notification a day summarizing which watched coins changed rating.

Market-wide alerts

You can also watch the whole market instead of a single coin:

• Any coin's score crosses a level tells you whenever any coin's composite crosses the threshold you set.
• Any coin's category clears a bar tells you whenever any coin's category score (Technical, On-chain, Fundamentals, Sentiment, or Macro) reaches your level.

Market-wide alerts can optionally be scoped to the top-N coins by market cap, so you only hear about the larger names. They fire only on a genuine crossing (a coin newly entering your criteria), not on every refresh, and if a lot of coins cross at once you get one summary notification instead of a flood.

Free vs paid: price alerts and unlock alerts are free for any signed-in user. Score-based alerts (score crossings, rating changes, sharp moves, the watchlist digest, and the market-wide alerts) are part of a subscription.

Dev activity

Development-activity data is paused

Our data provider put its developer-activity metrics under maintenance on August 27, 2026 and told us not to rely on them until they post recovery. Rather than show numbers we know are wrong, we've frozen this feature at the last verified read: the Rankings and Consistent lists reflect that last-good snapshot, and the Rising and Fading views — which describe change over time — are hidden, because a frozen snapshot can't honestly claim a coin is rising or fading right now. The dev signal's small contribution to the composite score is held at its last verified level for the same reason. This lifts automatically when the provider recovers.

Real projects keep shipping code. The High Dev page tracks developer activity across the top 500 coins, commit volume, contributor growth, and GitHub breadth, and combines them into a dev score weighted heavily toward growth. On the Rankings tab you can filter by market-cap band and by trend, and search for a specific coin.

Four tabs

• Rankings is the full field, ranked by dev score.
• Rising surfaces smaller projects with high activity — the same pattern that preceded SOL and SUI years before they were household names.
• Consistent shows steady heavyweights, scored by a sustained-output percentile (PCTL, below) rather than the growth-tilted dev score.
• Fading splits in two: coins that went to zero, and coins in significant decline but still shipping, ranked by how much commit volume they lost rather than by percentage. Fading is a flag, not a verdict — developers step back in bear markets and often return as conditions improve.

Consistency percentile (PCTL)

On the Consistent tab you'll see a PCTL figure. That's the sustained-output percentile: how consistently high a project's dev activity is, ranked against the rest of the field. It's a different measure from the growth-tilted dev score on the Rankings tab, so the same coin can read high on one and only middling on the other. A project can rank high on PCTL by shipping steadily for a long time even if its activity isn't currently accelerating.

When our methodology flags a smaller coin for sustained high developer activity, we add it to the scanner so you get the full data. It shows up in the Top 100+ view, ranked by its true market-cap position, and once promoted it stays for at least two weeks so the scanner doesn't flicker day to day. It's a mechanical rule, not an editorial pick.

The Macro dashboard

Macro isn't only a scoring category; it's also its own dashboard. The Macro page shows the wider backdrop your coins are trading against, grouped into equities (US stock indices), safe-haven and macro assets like gold, and crypto, each row showing the current level and its recent move. Up top, a short correlation summary tells you in plain English how tightly crypto is currently moving with traditional markets, the difference between "risk-on lifts everything" and "crypto is trading on its own."

Open the Macro page from the top navigation.

Watchlist

Pin up to 50 coins to your Watchlist so you can track them independently of where they sit in the broader top-100 rankings. Star a coin from the Scanner row, the Heatmap tile, or the coin's drill-down page; it shows up on your Watchlist immediately.

Use it to: track positions you already hold, stage a short list of "thinking about it" candidates, or build a focused universe that matches your style (e.g. only L1s, only DeFi). The watchlist view applies your composite weights, so the same coins can rank differently depending on how you've tuned the scoring.

What we don't do

• We don't tell you what to buy. Scores are signals. Decisions are yours.
• We don't pump coins. If a coin scores low, we show it low, regardless of our relationship with the project. There is no relationship.
• We don't give financial advice. Cyclesolved is an analysis tool, not a licensed advisor. Do your own research. Never risk money you can't afford to lose.

Data sources

We show our work. Every signal is computed from third-party data we pull on a refresh cycle (CoinGecko, Santiment, DefiLlama, exchange proof-of-reserves, and more), then run through our own scoring curves. The full provider list, what each one feeds, and the attribution each requires is on the dedicated data sources page.

FAQ

How often do scores update?

Every 30 minutes in the background. The "updated Xm ago" label on the scanner tells you exactly how fresh the data is.

What's a good score threshold to act on?

Depends on you. Many users filter for 70+ as their "worth a deeper look" threshold. Strong buys (80+) are rare and deserve a closer read. But a high score alone is not a plan: position sizing, entry strategy, and risk management are still your job.

What data sources does Cyclesolved use?

CoinGecko for market and technical data, Santiment for on-chain and sentiment metrics, Dune Analytics for active-address, whale-transfer, exchange-supply and supply-in-profit signals, DefiLlama for DeFi protocol metrics and token-unlock schedules, Alternative.me for the Fear & Greed Index, and Alpha Vantage for the traditional-market data on the Macro page, plus exchange proof-of-reserves (OKX, Binance) and chain explorers (CoinStats, Koios, Stellar, Nodely, Subscan) for supply and on-chain fallbacks. The complete list with attribution is on the data sources page. All scoring curves and weightings are proprietary.

How is Cyclesolved different from other crypto tools?

Most tools give you data and expect you to interpret it. Cyclesolved gives you a single composite score that synthesizes five categories of data, plus a plain-English explanation of every underlying signal. The goal is a decision-ready view, not an analysis surface.

Is this financial advice?

No. Cyclesolved is a data and analysis tool. Nothing here is financial advice and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.

Can I customize the scoring weights?

Yes. Visit the weights page to adjust the weighting of each category to match your own investing thesis. Your weights persist across sessions and are applied everywhere you see a composite score.

Do I need a card to start the trial?

No, the trial is card-free. To keep trials fair (one per person), we verify your phone number once at signup. You add a payment method only when you choose to subscribe.

How do I sign in?

Passwordless. Enter your email and we send a one-time sign-in link, no password to set or remember.

How do I manage or cancel my subscription?

Go to your account → Manage subscription to update your card or cancel. If you cancel, you keep full access through the end of the period you've already paid for.
