4. What cryptocurrencies are tracked?

+

We track the top 50 cryptocurrencies by 24-hour trading volume on Binance Spot market. This includes major coins like:

  • Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), BNB
  • Solana (SOL), XRP, Cardano (ADA)
  • Dogecoin (DOGE), Polygon (MATIC)
  • And 40+ other high-volume altcoins

The list updates dynamically—if a coin's volume drops out of the top 50, it's replaced by a higher-volume coin. We exclude stablecoins, leveraged tokens, and wrapped assets.

📊 Technical Indicators

5. What technical indicators does CryptoScreener247 provide?

+

We provide 5 core technical indicators calculated using TradingView-compatible formulas:

Indicator Description
RSI Relative Strength Index (14-period, Wilder's method) with momentum, zone tracking, and divergence detection
MACD Moving Average Convergence Divergence (12-26-9) with crossovers, zero-line analysis, and histogram momentum
EMA Three Exponential Moving Averages (9, 21, 50) with trend classification, crossovers, and support/resistance
Volume Relative volume (RVol), spike detection, OBV analysis, and accumulation/distribution patterns
Bollinger Bands 20-period bands with %B indicator, squeeze detection, breakout analysis, and band walks

6. What timeframes are available?

+

We provide analysis across 5 timeframes:

Timeframe Best For Update Frequency
15 minutes Day trading, quick scalps Every 5 minutes
1 hour Intraday swing trades Every 15 minutes
4 hours Swing trading (2-7 days) Every 15 minutes
Daily Position trading (1-4 weeks) Every 1 hour
Weekly Long-term investment Every 1 hour

7. What is RSI and what do the zones mean?

+

RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a momentum oscillator measuring the speed and magnitude of price changes. It ranges from 0 to 100:

  • Overbought (>70): Price may be overextended; potential pullback ahead
  • Neutral (30-70): Normal trading range; no extreme conditions
  • Oversold (<30): Price may be undervalued; potential bounce ahead

We use Wilder's smoothing method (the TradingView standard) for accurate calculations that match professional platforms.

8. What MACD signals do you track?

+

We track comprehensive MACD data:

  • Bullish Crossover: MACD line crosses above Signal line (potential uptrend)
  • Bearish Crossover: MACD line crosses below Signal line (potential downtrend)
  • Zero Line Cross: MACD crossing the zero line indicates significant trend changes
  • Histogram Momentum: Rising/falling histogram shows momentum direction
  • Crossover Freshness: Fresh (≤3 candles), Recent (4-10), or Old (>10)

9. How does the EMA trend classification work?

+

We use three EMAs (9, 21, 50) to classify trends:

  • Strong Bullish: Price > EMA9 > EMA21 > EMA50, all slopes positive
  • Bullish: EMA9 > EMA21 > EMA50, price above EMA21
  • Sideways: EMAs clustered together, no clear direction
  • Bearish: EMA9 < EMA21 < EMA50, price below EMA21
  • Strong Bearish: Price < EMA9 < EMA21 < EMA50, all slopes negative

We also detect Golden Cross (9 crosses above 21) and Death Cross (9 crosses below 21) events.

10. What volume metrics do you provide?

+

Our volume analysis includes:

  • Relative Volume (RVol): Current volume divided by 20-period average (1.0 = average, 2.0 = 2x average)
  • Volume Spikes: Extreme (≥2.5x), Strong (≥1.8x), Moderate (≥1.3x)
  • OBV (On-Balance Volume): Cumulative volume with trend direction
  • OBV Divergence: When OBV diverges from price (early reversal signal)
  • Volume Climax: Exhaustion moves with 4x+ volume suggesting reversal
  • Last Move Confirmation: Whether recent price moves are supported by volume

11. What Bollinger Band signals do you detect?

+

We track comprehensive Bollinger Band data:

  • %B Indicator: Position within bands (0 = lower band, 0.5 = middle, 1.0 = upper)
  • Bandwidth: Width of bands as percentage (volatility measure)
  • Squeeze Detection: When bands narrow significantly (low volatility, big move coming)
  • Breakout/Breakdown: Price closing outside the bands
  • Band Walk: Price "walking" along a band indicates strong trend
  • Mean Reversion: Extended price likely to return to middle band

📈 Divergence Detection

12. What is divergence?

+

Divergence occurs when price and an indicator (like RSI or MACD) move in opposite directions. This conflict signals that the current trend may be losing momentum and a reversal could be approaching.

Type Price Action Indicator Signal
Regular Bullish Lower Low Higher Low Reversal UP
Regular Bearish Higher High Lower High Reversal DOWN
Hidden Bullish Higher Low Lower Low Continuation UP
Hidden Bearish Lower High Higher High Continuation DOWN

13. What is "Structure Break" methodology?

+

Traditional divergence detection finds many false signals by comparing recent highs/lows. Our Structure Break methodology—used by institutional traders—identifies only major swings that break previous significant levels:

  1. Major Swing Detection: We identify only MAJOR swings that break previous highs or lows. Minor internal swings are ignored.
  2. Close Price Only: We use closing prices, not wicks, to filter out noise and false breakouts.
  3. Confirmation Required: A swing is only confirmed when price closes beyond the swing point.
  4. Indicator Alignment: We check if the indicator shows divergence against these confirmed major swings.
Result: Traditional detection shows 20 signals with 15 false. Our method shows 5 signals with 4 valid. Fewer but higher-quality signals = better trades.

14. What are the different divergence strengths?

+

Each divergence receives a confidence score (0-100) based on:

  • Strong (confidence 70-100): Large magnitude difference, excellent alignment (≤3 candles), volume confirmed
  • Medium (confidence 50-69): Moderate magnitude, good alignment (≤5 candles), some volume confirmation
  • Weak (confidence <50): Small magnitude, poor alignment, no volume confirmation

Factors that increase confidence: larger price/indicator divergence, tighter alignment, volume confirmation, freshness (recent is better), and trend alignment.

15. How accurate is divergence detection?

+

Our Structure Break methodology shows approximately 70-75% accuracy for predicting reversals within 5-10 candles in backtesting. However:

  • No indicator is 100% accurate—always use proper risk management
  • Divergence signals should be confirmed with other indicators (confluence)
  • Higher timeframes (4h, 1d) typically produce more reliable signals than lower timeframes
  • Volume confirmation significantly increases reliability

16. Why doesn't my divergence match TradingView?

+

TradingView's built-in divergence indicators use different methodologies. Key differences:

  • We use close prices only, not wicks
  • We require structural confirmation (price must close beyond the swing)
  • We ignore minor swings and focus on major turning points
  • Our approach produces fewer but higher-quality signals

Our RSI and MACD values match TradingView exactly (we use the same Wilder's RSI and 12-26-9 MACD). Only the divergence detection methodology differs.

🤖 AI-Powered Features

17. What AI features does CryptoScreener247 have?

+

Our AI engine provides four key features:

  • Confluence Analysis: Scores (0-100) how many indicators align in the same direction. 80+ = strong confluence, high-probability setup.
  • Market Narrative: Dynamically generated analysis explaining current market position, momentum, trend alignment, and key levels.
  • Probability Engine: Estimates likelihood of bounce, breakdown, or consolidation based on historical patterns.
  • Scenario Generator: Creates bullish, bearish, and base case scenarios with target prices and trigger conditions.

18. How does the confluence score work?

+

The AI analyzes all 5 indicators and calculates alignment:

Score Classification Meaning
80-100 Strong Confluence 4-5 indicators aligned; high-probability setup
60-79 Moderate Confluence 3 indicators aligned; decent setup
40-59 Mixed Signals 2 indicators aligned; conflicting data
0-39 No Confluence Indicators contradict; avoid trading

19. How accurate are the AI predictions?

+

AI predictions are probabilistic, not certain. They're based on:

  • Historical pattern analysis
  • Current indicator confluence
  • Market regime classification
  • Volume and momentum context

Use AI insights as one input among many in your trading decisions. Always apply proper risk management regardless of AI confidence scores.

📡 Data and Updates

20. How often is the data updated?

+

We have two update streams:

  • Price Data: Updates every 1 second via real-time Server-Sent Events (SSE)
  • Indicator Data: Updates every 5-60 minutes depending on timeframe:
    • 15m/1h: Every 5-15 minutes
    • 4h: Every 15 minutes
    • 1d/1w: Every 1 hour

No manual refresh needed—updates push automatically to your browser.

21. Why do you use "confirmed candle data"?

+

Indicator calculations use closed/confirmed candle data rather than the current incomplete candle because:

  • The last candle's high/low/close are still changing until it closes
  • Including incomplete candles creates false divergence signals
  • Professional traders and platforms like TradingView use the same approach

However, our price display shows real-time live prices (updated every second) so you always see current market prices.

22. Where does the data come from?

+

All market data comes from Binance Spot market via their official API. We:

  • Fetch OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data for each timeframe
  • Calculate all indicators using TradingView-compatible formulas
  • Stream live prices via Binance's real-time data feeds
  • Update the top 50 coin list based on 24-hour trading volume

💰 Trading and Investment

31. Is this financial advice?

+
NO. CryptoScreener247 provides data and tools for informational and educational purposes only. We are NOT financial advisors. All trading decisions are your own responsibility.

32. Should I trade based on these signals alone?

+

No. You should:

  • Conduct your own research and analysis
  • Use multiple indicators and look for confluence
  • Consider market fundamentals and news
  • Practice proper risk management
  • Never invest more than you can afford to lose

33. What is the best timeframe to use?

+

Depends on your trading style:

  • Day traders: Focus on 15m and 1h timeframes
  • Swing traders: Focus on 4h and 1d timeframes
  • Position traders: Focus on 1d and 1w timeframes

Pro tip: Higher timeframes produce more reliable but fewer signals. Always confirm signals across multiple timeframes for higher probability setups.

34. How do I combine indicators effectively?

+

Look for confluence—multiple indicators pointing the same direction. Example bullish setup:

  • RSI oversold (<30) with bullish divergence
  • MACD bullish crossover
  • Price at lower Bollinger Band
  • Volume spike confirming buyer interest
  • EMA trend turning bullish

The more indicators aligned, the higher the probability. Our AI confluence score (0-100) quantifies this alignment automatically.
