Crypto Health Score

A 0–100 condition score for each coin that trades as a perpetual future, rebuilt every hour from daily candles. It blends five pillars — price trend, open interest behaviour, funding cost, liquidity and liquidation stress — into one number and a grade from Strong to Distressed. It describes how healthy a coin's market looks right now; it is not a price prediction. As of Sep 15, 2026, the market average is 69.7 (Healthy) across 421 coins.

The average health score across 421 futures-traded coins is 69.7, which reads as Healthy, with 73 coins graded Strong, 222 Healthy, 113 Neutral, 13 Weak and 0 Distressed as of Sep 15, 2026. That is 4.0 points lower than a week earlier.

Trend reads price structure over the last 30 days — the 30-day return, where price sits against its 20- and 50-day averages, and whether momentum is healthy rather than overheated. Open Interest checks whether futures positioning confirms price: open interest rising with price is healthy, rising while price falls is not, and a book far larger than daily volume is penalised as crowded. Funding measures what longs have paid over the last seven closed days, weighted by open interest. Liquidity combines volume rank, turnover of open interest and whether volume is growing. Stress reads the last closed day's liquidations against open interest, how one-sided they were, and how balanced long/short positioning is.

Strong is 80 or above, Healthy 65 to 80, Neutral 50 to 65, Weak 35 to 50 and Distressed below 35. The bands are fixed, so a grade means the same thing on every day and for every coin — the share of coins in each band is what moves with the market.

Across 125,195 coin-days between Sep 15, 2025 and Sep 8, 2026, the average 7-day return after each grade was: Strong −0.36% (38% positive), Healthy −0.08% (41% positive), Neutral −0.80% (41% positive), Weak +0.15% (45% positive), Distressed +2.72% (53% positive). Higher grades did not line up neatly with higher forward returns in this window, which is exactly why the score is presented as a condition read and not a forecast. A high score says a coin's market is in good condition today — trend intact, leverage confirming, funding cheap, liquidity deep, no forced selling — and condition can change quickly.

Every coin with a live perpetual futures market and at least $5M of open interest, excluding stablecoins, wrapped tokens and tokenized stocks or commodities. Coins listed on several exchanges are scored once, on their combined futures data. A coin needs at least three of the five pillars to receive a score.

Every hour. The trend and open interest pillars follow the current UTC day's candle, so the score can drift through the day; funding, liquidity and stress are locked to the last closed day. One final value per coin is stored at each UTC close, which is what the history chart and the backtest use.

A pillar is skipped when its inputs are missing — a coin listed days ago has no 30-day history, and open-interest-weighted funding history only begins in mid-August, so earlier days carry four pillars. When that happens the remaining pillars are re-weighted to keep the score on the same 0–100 scale, and the row shows how many pillars were used.
