About & methodology
Market Posture Daily turns raw price history into one legible question: where does each major asset sit relative to its own trend, today? No black boxes — if you can read this page, you can audit our math.
Who's behind it & why it exists
I'm a solo technical builder based in the EU. I'm not a fund, a financial advisor, or a licensed analyst, and I won't pretend to be. What I actually do: for years I've built and run private, automated crypto trading systems — quietly, and successfully enough to keep running every day.
None of that works without a clean daily read of where the market actually stands. I built that market-data layer for myself first. Market Posture Daily is that same layer, with everything proprietary stripped out and the factual part opened up — the public, educational read on top of my own work. I share the shape of the data, never my positions or strategies.
How the data is computed
Every metric is derived from public daily candles using standard, openly-documented calculations:
- Trend lines (50- & 200-day moving averages). The simple moving average of the daily closing price over the last 50 and 200 days. The 50-day is the medium-term trend; the 200-day the long-term. Everything is measured against these.
- Posture (price vs trend). We compare the latest close to each trend line. Above = trading above its trend; below = under it. Descriptive, not a recommendation.
- Distance (% from trend). How far the latest close sits from a trend line: (close − moving average) ÷ moving average × 100. A measure of extension, not a prediction.
- 60-day sparkline. A compact 60-day line of closing price plotted against its trend, so you can read the recent path at a glance — on the free tier for the spotlight assets, and for every asset inside the Posture Terminal.
- 200-day regime & posture streaks (premium). The 200-day view labels the broader regime; streaks count consecutive days an asset has held above or below its trend.
- 7-day momentum (premium). The percentage change in closing price over the trailing 7 days — a short-term rate-of-change read, not a forecast.
- Relative-strength ranking (premium). We rank the tracked assets against each other by recent performance — a descriptive ordering of the data.
- Relative strength vs BTC (premium). Against Bitcoin: excess return, return correlation, and volume ratio — how an asset behaves versus the market benchmark.
- Daily trend-flip alerts (premium). When an asset crosses from above to below its trend (or vice-versa) on the daily candle, we note the flip — an observation, not a cue to act.
The de-identified research digest
Premium includes a weekly, de-identified research digest drawn from my own automated systems — aggregate statistics about how the market and newly-launched assets behave, and the share that pass basic quality filters. It is fully de-identified by design: aggregate counts and rates only. No wallet or token addresses, no per-trade data, no positions, no entry/exit prices. If a statistic can't be shared without exposing identifiable or actionable detail, it doesn't go in.
Data sources & cadence
Free-tier metrics are computed from public daily market data — standard daily candles and volume. The site is regenerated daily after 00:00 UTC using the prior UTC day's daily candle; the free snapshot refreshes each day and the research digest is published weekly. Calculations are fixed and applied identically every day — if I ever change how a metric is computed, I'll say so here. Public market data can contain gaps or revisions; it is used as-is for educational purposes, with no warranty of accuracy or completeness.
What we will never do
- Never give personalized investment advice. We publish data and education; nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset.
- Never tell you what to buy or sell — no calls, no price targets, no entries or exits.
- Never expose live positions or actionable trade data. Lab research is shared only de-identified and in aggregate.
- Never hype. No exaggerated return claims or pump language, anywhere on the site.
- Never fabricate. No fake testimonials, no invented track records, no made-up numbers.
- Never sell or leak your data, and never disguise advertising as neutral content.
Compliance, disclaimers & holdings disclosure
Educational data only — not investment advice. Market Posture Daily provides factual market data and general educational content about crypto-asset price trends. It does not constitute investment advice, a personal recommendation, an offer, or a solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any crypto-asset or financial instrument.
No reliance. Crypto-assets are highly volatile and you can lose some or all of your money. Past performance and past trend behaviour are not indicative of future results. Any decisions you make are your own; consider seeking advice from an independent, licensed professional.
No warranty. Data is provided “as is” for educational purposes, sourced from public market data that may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate.
Operator & holdings. Operated by a solo individual builder based in the EU — an independent educational project, not a regulated financial-services firm. The operator may hold, buy, or sell any of the crypto-assets discussed here at any time.
Advertising & affiliates. Some outbound links — e.g. to exchanges or hardware wallets — are affiliate links, marked #ad / advertising. Affiliate relationships never determine our methodology or what the data shows.
