Top 6 by market cap · Prices via CoinGecko · NOV. 5, 2026 · 2:26 AM CT
The market is currently showing a neutral-leaning profile, with low volatility risk and accumulation capital flow. NFT is leading sector rotation, and participation across tracked assets looks broad. At 50 out of 100, the Fear & Greed Index sits in Neutral territory, meaning neither buyers nor sellers are clearly in control, so the market is waiting for a catalyst.
signals positive. Signals are mixed, roughly split between positive and cautious readings.
Each signal is a Crypto Playback reading of live market data. The Capital Flow score is a composite of price and sector breadth weighted against sentiment; it is not institutional transaction data. How we read the signals
Each indicator is compared with its own reading from about 24 hours earlier. Bitcoin ETF flow compares with the prior trading day because it only updates once a day.

Hack Hangover Meets Tokenization Pushback
Crypto is still cleaning up after the Binance hack while a parallel fight over tokenized stocks and a fresh exchange breach in Brazil keep the ledger of bad news growing.
The biggest hack in crypto history dominated the week, but a fight over who's really in charge of fixing it may matter more than the number itself.

What each alert above actually measures, and how it is calculated. Tap any signal name for the full methodology, data sources and history.
A 0–100 read on overall market mood, from Extreme Fear to Extreme Greed. Calculated daily from real volatility, momentum, and social data, not opinion. Extremes often line up with emotional turning points, not rational ones.
Whichever of the top 10 coins in the crypto market (by market cap, stablecoins excluded) moved the most — up or down — over the last 24 hours. Ranked purely by the size of the move, not its direction. A quick read on where the action is happening right now.
A simple Low, Moderate, or Elevated snapshot of how turbulent the market is right now, built from volatility and sentiment extremes. It's a temperature check on current conditions, not a forecast of what happens next.
A Crypto Playback composite score built from price and sector breadth weighted against sentiment — not institutional transaction data. A higher score leans toward accumulation, a lower score toward distribution.
Ranks major crypto narratives, like AI, RWA, and DeFi, by 24-hour performance. Pulled from a curated list of major sectors so tiny micro-categories can't skew the results. Shows where money is rotating inside the market, not just up or down overall.
Bitcoin's share of total crypto market cap, plus whether the other tracked coins are outperforming or underperforming BTC over the last 24 hours. Rising alt participation reads as broader breadth, not a price prediction for either side.
BTC perpetual futures funding rate - the periodic payment between long and short leverage positions. Elevated readings in either direction mean one side is more crowded with leverage, which raises liquidation-cascade risk, not a directional price call.
Tracks total stablecoin supply and its 7-day change — a proxy for how much capital is parked in the crypto ecosystem, ready to deploy. Expanding supply means fresh capital is entering; contracting means it's leaving the space entirely.
Total value locked (TVL) across DeFi protocols, all chains combined, and its 7-day change. A different read than Stablecoin Liquidity - this is capital actually deployed into DeFi, not just dry powder sitting on the sidelines.
Bitcoin network hash rate and its trend into the next difficulty adjustment, plus current mempool congestion. Rising hash rate means more mining power is actively securing the network - a security/health read, not a price signal.
The size and direction of BTC perpetual futures liquidations - forced closeouts of over-leveraged positions - over the most recent ~100 events on OKX. Heavy liquidations in either direction mean forced, cascading action, not a directional price call.
The count of $1M+ BTC transactions in a sample of recent network activity. Purely a size read - we can't tell whether a large transfer is accumulation, distribution, or just an exchange moving its own coins, so this deliberately isn't scored positive or negative.
A Low/Moderate/Elevated read on traditional-market conditions - equity volatility (VIX) and US dollar strength (DXY) - the only indicator here that looks outside crypto. A temperature check on macro turbulence, not a crypto-specific signal.
Net daily flow across US spot Bitcoin ETFs, plus a rolling streak and flow-pressure score. Positive means the funds took in more money than left them that day, not a price call. Cross-checked against a second, independent data source before it's shown.
The share of a fixed 40-coin universe currently trading above its own 50-day moving average. A broad measure of how widespread the current trend actually is, not just whether a few large coins are moving.
Ranks sectors by their trailing 7-day average daily performance, not just today's snapshot - a different cut than Top Sectors, surfacing sustained strength over a single good day.
