Screening Filters
Market Cap ≥ $100M ('market_cap': {'min': '100000000'})
- Purpose: Focus on larger, more established cryptocurrencies.
- Rationale:
- Breakouts in tiny, illiquid coins are often just random spikes or easy-to-manipulate moves.
- A minimum market cap helps ensure that any breakout signal is more likely driven by real demand, not a single big order.
24h Turnover ≥ $5M ('turnover_24h': {'min': '5000000'})
- Purpose: Ensure sufficient trading volume and liquidity.
- Rationale:
- Breakouts with strong volume are more credible and more tradable.
- A turnover filter removes coins that may “move” on the chart but are too illiquid to enter/exit positions efficiently or safely.
Support/Resistance Relationship
('support_resistance_relationship': ['PriceBreakResistance', 'PriceBreakUpperBoll', 'PriceAroundResistance', 'PriceAroundUpperBoll'])
- Purpose: Target coins currently interacting with key technical barriers where breakouts typically occur.
- Rationale (each condition):
- PriceBreakResistance:
- Looks for coins that have just moved above a known resistance level.
- This is a classic breakout definition: price escaping a prior ceiling.
- PriceBreakUpperBoll (upper Bollinger Band breakout):
- Identifies strong upside volatility expansion, often associated with the start or continuation of momentum moves.
- Many breakout traders watch Bollinger Band “squeezes” and subsequent upper-band breaks.
- PriceAroundResistance:
- Finds coins pressing against resistance but not clearly through it yet.
- This is the “pre-breakout” zone where pressure is building and a breakout may be imminent.
- PriceAroundUpperBoll:
- Similar idea using Bollinger Bands—price hovering near the upper band can indicate sustained buying pressure and a possible push into a breakout.
New Highs
('new_high_low': ['52w_High', '20_High', '5_High'])
- Purpose: Capture assets making fresh highs over multiple time frames, a hallmark of breakout behavior.
- Rationale:
- 52w_High: New yearly highs are strong breakout signals; they show the market is willing to pay prices not seen in a long time.
- 20_High: About a short to medium-term breakout (roughly one trading month). Good for catching newer trends.
- 5_High: Very recent breakout behavior, catching early short-term moves that may evolve into larger trends.
- Combining all three allows you to see both strong long-term breakouts and shorter-term emerging ones.
24h Price Change +3% to +30%
('price_change_pct_24h': {'min': '3', 'max': '30'})
- Purpose: Focus on coins with significant but not totally extreme recent upside moves.
- Rationale:
- Minimum +3%: Ensures there is meaningful positive momentum consistent with a breakout attempt rather than flat or drifting price action.
- Maximum +30%: Avoids ultra-parabolic one-day moves that may already be overextended, frothy, or at higher risk of a sharp pullback.
- This band tries to locate moves strong enough to be interesting, but not yet so extreme that the breakout is likely “late.”
Why Results Match the “Breakout” Idea
- Breakouts typically involve:
- Price challenging or clearing resistance (handled by the support/resistance and Bollinger filters).
- Price making new highs relative to recent history (the 52w/20/5-day high filters).
- Noticeable positive momentum backed by liquidity (24h price change + volume/turnover filters).
- Liquidity and size filters (market cap and turnover) aim to improve reliability and tradability of the signals, so you’re seeing actionable breakout candidates, not just thinly traded spikes.
Together, these filters narrow the crypto universe to coins that are:
- Large and liquid enough to trade,
- Showing strong recent upward price action,
- Interacting with or breaking key resistance and volatility bands,
- And making new highs—classic technical characteristics of potential breakouts.
