01The analysis

What it answers

Produces a prioritized, per-asset descriptive review of your crypto watchlist, ranked by how much each asset has moved recently so the most active names surface first. It loads your tracked watchlist, matches each asset against current market data, and ranks by the size of recent price swings. A watchlist asset outside the tracked screener universe (the market's larger, more liquid coins) is called out separately rather than silently dropped.

How it is computed

A watchlist review ordered by recent movement - and what that ordering does to attention.

WHAT IT DOES. Loads your watchlist, matches each asset against current market data, and ranks by the size of recent price swings so the most active names surface first.

WHY THE ORDERING IS DEFENSIBLE. Attention is finite, and a list has to be in some order. Ranking by recent movement puts the assets where something has changed at the top, which is a reasonable use of limited attention - and it is honest about being a review rather than a signal.

WHY IT IS ALSO WORTH BEING WARY OF. Ranking by movement is ranking by SALIENCE, and salience is precisely what behavioural finance identifies as distorting attention. Barber and Odean (2008) found that individual investors are net buyers of ATTENTION-GRABBING stocks - those in the news, with high abnormal volume or extreme recent returns - because attention solves their search problem on the buy side but not the sell side, where they can only sell what they already hold. A tool that sorts by recent movement is, by construction, amplifying exactly the signal that mechanism runs on.

SO USE IT KNOWING WHAT IT ORDERS FOR. A list sorted by recent movement is not sorted by importance or by risk. An asset that has barely moved can sit low on this list, whatever else may matter about it.

SIZE OF SWINGS IS A VOLATILITY MEASURE, and volatility is not direction. An asset can top this list on a large fall, a large rise, or both within the window - which is the correct behaviour for a review queue and the wrong reading if the ranking is mistaken for a signal.

AND A WATCHLIST IS SELF-SELECTED. It contains what you already decided to watch, so anything not on it is invisible here regardless of merit. That is not a flaw in the analysis - it is the definition of a watchlist - but it means this can never surface something new, and should not be read as a survey of the market.

Keep in mind

The ranking metric and the window are our own convention. This is descriptive.
