How Cyclesolved works

The thesis

Crypto is volatile, and there is way too much to watch. Prices move because of technical indicators, on-chain activity, 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 17 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 with enough data gets a composite score from 0 to 100; the rest show what's missing. The score is the weighted average of five category subscores. Higher means more of the five categories read well right now. It describes today; it is not a prediction or a trade.

Scores are bucketed:

• 80+ Strong profile: most categories read well at once, which is rare
• 70 to 79 Solid profile: more categories read well than poorly
• 45 to 69 Mixed: the categories disagree, or read middling
• 30 to 44 Weak profile: more categories read poorly than well
• below 30 Very weak: most categories read poorly

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 tops out at neutral, by design. It only flags crowd extremes — an attention spike, or mood unusually upbeat for this coin — so it has no upward reading: the best a coin can do on sentiment is neutral. Macro is mostly the shared market backdrop, so a mid-range read there is normal too. We could stretch either to look like a strong score, but it would be telling you something the data doesn't support, so we don't.

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.

Why two counts? 11 of our 17 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 11 we have for a given coin. The other 6 (BTC trend, BTC dominance, strength vs BTC, MC/FDV, token unlocks and social mood) are scored but not counted in the dot.

• Full coverage: all 11 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. Coins with at least half their coin-specific data are not hidden or ranked down; they sort by composite score alongside everything else, and the dot is transparency so you can decide how much weight to give it. Below half, we withhold the composite and show "—" with the reason.

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, fewer than one coin in five was 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 metrics are improving while the price has not moved with them. When price is running while the score falls, the metrics are weakening while the price rises. Neither is a buy or a sell instruction, and neither says which way price goes next; the gap is simply where the two disagree.

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, High Dev, and Alerts (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, and stay with you after a trial ends. The portfolio score, which rates your holdings by our model, and what drives it are part of your trial and of Pro.

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

Alerts

Alerts tell you the moment something you care about happens, so you don't have to keep checking. In the iPhone app they arrive as notifications; on the web you set them on the Alerts page and can have them sent to Telegram. To keep them useful, an alert fires at most once every six hours, a price alert waits for the price to move 1% back before it can fire again, and you get at most eight notifications a day, your morning brief included.

Per-coin alerts

• Score crosses a level fires when a coin's composite score crosses a threshold you set, either up or down.
• Score crosses 30, 45, 70 or 80 fires when a coin's score crosses one of those lines, up or down, for example from 68 to 71.
• 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.
• Any coin drops sharply in a day tells you when a coin's score falls by at least the number of points you choose, compared with yesterday's score.
• Any coin's category moves sharply in a day does the same for a category score, up or down.
• The market regime changes tells you when the market enters a capitulation flush or euphoria, and when it returns to normal.

The last three are in the latest version of the app. The market-wide alerts above watch the top 100 by default, or the whole board if you choose.

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 Pro: a free account gets five price alerts and one coin alert of any other kind (a risk-grade change, a score crossing, a rating change, a sharp move or a token unlock), on any coin. Market-wide alerts, the watchlist digest, the one-tap presets and any number of alerts beyond that are part of Pro.

Dev activity

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 lists smaller projects (outside the top 50 by market cap) with high developer activity for their size.
• 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 market-cap 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. Scores of 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 and whale-transfer 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.
