Featured Indicators: Altcoin Alpha The Research team created four Featured Indicators to level up your market insight: - Retail Activity (via Trading Frequency) - Average Order Size - Volume Bubble Map - Taker CVD Here’s how to use them effectively 👇

Retail Activity via Trading Frequency Tracks how active retail investors are by measuring trade count. It’s relative (adjusted by 1-year moving average) to factor in user growth. The indicator is useful for spotting frothy tops. Example: Starknet ($STRK) peaked in late 2024 amid a surge in retail activity — and it’s flashing similar signals again.

Average Order Size This metric is calculated by dividing total volume by number of trades — higher values = more whale activity. Useful for identifying key price zones where whales are active. Example: $HYPE exhibited large order sizes in April 2025 before rallying from ~$11 to $60. Now? Big whale orders again.

Volume Bubble Map This indicator visualizes trading volume trends using bubbles: - Bubble size = trading volume. - Color = volume trend In late-stage bull markets, high volume + weak price action = Distribution Phase, where early holders sell to new entrants. Example: Solana has formed multiple bottoms during the Cooling phase, while Overheating phases are often aligned with distribution tops.

Taker Cumulative Volume Delta (90-Days) This indicator tracks the net pressure between market buys and sells over 90 days. It accumulates the difference between Taker Buy and Taker Sell volume: 📈 Positive & rising → Taker Buy Dominant 📉 Negative & falling → Taker Sell Dominant Example: Spot Taker CVD for Bitcoin turned bearish around $117K — it’s now trading near $81K.
