VORTECS™ Report: This quant-style indicator alerted traders to 3 out of 4 triple-digit rallies this week

Published at: Sept. 6, 2021

Cointelegraph's Markets Pro data intelligence service, which offers institutional-grade research tools for crypto traders, has shared the latest weekly VORTECS™ Report with its community of subscribers.

The full report, available only to subscribers, presents the past week's biggest-gaining tokens as identified by the platform's artificial intelligence tools and offers interpretations of the data that it provides to traders. Here are some of the highlights of the latest issue:

Three out of four altcoins with triple-digit weekly gains flash high VORTECS™ Scores before their prices peak.Markets Pro subscribers take profit from FTM's and OGN's rallies thanks to the platform's data intelligence tools.Assets with high VORTECS™ Scores keep yielding consistent average returns, with double-digit average ROIs coming after 24 and 48 hours.All-time top coins: RUNE, AXS and VGX remain on top in terms of the number of days with high scores.IOST and RLY ride well-timed NewsQuakes™ to generate hefty gains.Altseason in full swing: Altcoins generate 17.8% weekly ROI against Bitcoin's 3.2%.

The VORTECS™ Score is an algorithmic indicator comparing historical market and social conditions around each coin to those currently observed. Exclusively available to subscribers of Cointelegraph Markets Pro, each asset's VORTECS™ Score indicates whether the present combination of the coin's market and social metrics is historically bullish, bearish or neutral.

Here is how it can be used to inform traders' decision-making.

Anticipating FTM's breakout

Fantom's FTM added a staggering 127.08% to its value over the seven-day period. After the coin's price soared from around $0.50 to over $0.80 early in the week, its VORTECS™ Score held above 80 for a formidable 47 hours, even despite a correction kicking in. High VORTECS™ values above 80 are marked in dark green on the charts — like the one above — that compare a coin's price to its VORTECS™ Score.

The score dynamic thus suggested that the market and social conditions of FTM that were observed by the algorithm have been consistently ripe for further upside.

Several hours after FTM's highest score of the week — 84 (red circle in the chart) — the asset continued its impressive run as its value further increased from $0.70 to $1.17. Some Markets Pro subscribers later reported having capitalized on the insight:

Foreshadowing OGN's second leg up

Origin Protocol's OGN posted a series of ultra-high VORTECS™ Scores — reaching 87 in the early hours of Sept. 2 (red circle in the chart) — as its price fluctuated between $1.14 and $1.19. Less than 30 hours after the peak score was registered, the coin took off on a steep trajectory that saw it touch $1.36 the next day.

Judging from posts on the Markets Pro Discord server, community members managed to derive profits from this one, too:

In the crypto market, much like anywhere else, history doesn't exactly repeat itself — but it often rhymes. When history is represented by a collection of quantitative metrics, an industry-grade artificial intelligence tool like the VORTECS™ Score can support traders' decision-making by alerting them to the conditions under which an actionable rhyme is most likely to occur.

VORTECS™ Report: This key trading algo spotted bullish altcoin setups even as BTC price fell
Last week was challenging for crypto traders, with Sept. 24’s FUD-triggering crypto-ban news out of China wiping out much of the gains that investors had managed to rake in earlier in the week. Between Sept. 18 and 25, the top 100 altcoins shed as much as 14.4% of their aggregate value, while Bitcoin (BTC) lost 12.5%. The number of altcoins posting double-digit returns was unusually low as well. Data from Markets Pro, Cointelegraph’s subscription-based data intelligence platform, shows that only eight assets out of the hundreds tracked gained more than 10% against the United States dollar.

Here’s why Avalanche, OriginTrail and Coti hardly budged as Bitcoin fell to $40K
Admittedly, the last few days have not been not the most pleasant time for crypto traders as the price of Bitcoin (BTC) price fell short of breaking the $50,000 threshold, then slid to the low-$40,000 range and pulled the majority of altcoins down with it. Despite this sharp downturn, a handful of tokens seemed to do much better than the rest of the market by posting weekly gains in their BTC and U.S. dollar-denominated pairs. Some traders looking to rack up their Bitcoin holdings cannot be bothered to follow an altcoins’ price dynamics against the dollar. For them, BTC slumps …

VORTECS™ Spotlight: Fantom’s 500%+ rally was signaled by this key trading metric
Fantom’s FTM asset has been one of the top trending tokens of the week, and it barely noticed Bitcoin’s midweek swoon that halted many altcoin rallies. Despite Bitcoin (BTC) dropping below $43,000, FTM added 114% in U.S. dollar terms and 127% in its BTC pair over the last seven days. FTM’s monthly stats look even more impressive, with nearly 500% growth against both benchmarks. While it is par for the course for altcoins to rally when Bitcoin consolidates, FTM’s price movement is completely asymmetrical to most of its peers. Let’s investigate what’s behind the record-breaking run and whether there is …

Here’s how traders got alerted to some of the biggest rallies of this week’s resurging market
This crypto winter wasn’t a very long one. Having briefly touched $34,000 in the second half of January, Bitcoin (BTC) is on its way up again, touching the $45,000 mark on Feb. 10. Many altcoins have been catching up as well and posting double-digit weekly returns. However, not all relief rallies were equally impressive. Is there a way for traders to pick the assets that are about to pull off the strongest rebounds? Luckily, bullish marketwide reversals tend to look similar in terms of both price movement and other variables that shape market activity: rising trading volumes, spikes of online …

3 times in March that savvy crypto traders bought breaking news for the price of a rumor
As an old saying goes: Buy the rumor, sell the news. As a digital-native asset class, the prices of cryptocurrencies are clearly susceptible to market-moving news developments that instantly spread on the internet. Staying on top of bullish announcements can help crypto traders reap huge gains, but navigating the crypto news landscape can be daunting. Two major roadblocks get in the way: the abundance of potentially relevant information and the difficulty of making sure one is always among the first to learn the news that really matters. Extensive research shows that three types of crypto-related developments move digital asset prices …
