Technically Speaking – July 29, 2022

This is more of a ‘sneak peak’ into something new you’ll be seeing in the Litepaper – and possibly in the crypto streams on StockTwits. 

Knowing what cryptocurrencies are leading or lagging the market is important – but I also want to know what ‘sectors’ are leading and lagging. Unfortunately, many sites and services offer a juiced-up version of an Excel spreadsheet, but nothing graphical.

I’m a visual person. I was the kid who wanted pictures in the books versus just a bunch of pages with stoopud wurds. 

I’ve created several custom indices for the cryptocurrency market. Those indices are Top 10, Yield Farming, Privacy, Proof-of-Work, Proof-of-Stake, Metaverse, DeFi, DEX, CEX, and Altcoins. Others will be added – I would love to hear your suggestions!

The indices are comprised of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap in their category and are rebalanced monthly. I use the professional technical analysis software, Optuma, to create a Relative Rotation Graph which then displays how the indices are performing. 

The image above won’t be the one we’ll end up using – the team of artists here at StockTwits who know how to make awesome fire-blingy-looking graphics will make it look better soon. 🎯

One Way To Use Stocktwits’ Social Data Tools

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘volume precedes price’? It’s an old-school technical analysis 101 maxim. For example, if an instrument is in a downtrend but then you start to see volume tick up, the theory is that price will follow the volume. 🧑‍🎓

It’s what technical analysts call a leading indicator—a heads-up or a warning that the probability of change is high and that it might happen soon. Analysts and traders might apply that principle (volume precedes price) to the Stocktwits Social Data.
