Screening Filters
24h Turnover ≥ $50,000,000 (turnover_24h: {'min': '50000000'})
- Purpose: Focus on highly traded, liquid cryptocurrencies.
- Rationale: When someone asks for the “best” cryptos on a major exchange like Coinbase, liquidity is a core requirement:
- High 24h turnover means many buyers and sellers, so tighter spreads and easier trade execution.
- It filters out obscure, thinly traded coins that may be riskier or harder to enter/exit at fair prices.
- On Coinbase specifically, the most “relevant” coins to most users tend to be those with meaningful daily trading activity.
Moderate RSI (rsi_category: ['moderate'])
- Purpose: Avoid cryptos that are extremely overbought or oversold in the short term.
- Rationale: “Best” here is interpreted as not just strong performers, but also not at an extreme technical condition:
- A moderate RSI typically indicates the price isn’t at a blow-off top (overbought) or panic low (oversold).
- This strikes a balance between momentum and risk of near-term sharp reversals.
- It avoids coins that have already spiked excessively (which might be vulnerable to quick pullbacks) or collapsed recently (which may be unstable).
Price Above 200-Day Moving Average (moving_average_relationship: ['PriceAboveMA200'])
- Purpose: Ensure the cryptocurrency is in a longer-term uptrend.
- Rationale:
- The 200-day moving average is a widely used gauge of long-term trend.
- Cryptos trading above this level are generally considered to be in a positive trend, aligning with the user’s notion of “best” as stronger, not languishing or in clear downtrends.
- This filter removes many weak or structurally declining coins, focusing on those that have sustained strength over months.
1-Year Price Change ≥ +20% (year_price_change_pct: {'min': '20'})
- Purpose: Prioritize cryptocurrencies with solid performance over the past year.
- Rationale:
- A minimum +20% yearly gain ensures we only look at coins that have actually delivered positive returns over a meaningful period.
- This aligns with “best” in a performance sense: cryptos that have already demonstrated relative strength.
- It removes stagnant or underperforming assets that haven’t rewarded holders over the last year.
Why Results Match the Question “Best Cryptocurrencies Available on Coinbase”
- Liquidity & Tradability: The high 24h turnover filter ensures the list is dominated by major, actively traded coins that a typical Coinbase user can trade efficiently.
- Proven Strength, Not Speculative Pennies: The requirement of being above the 200-day moving average and up at least 20% over the past year focuses on cryptos with established positive trends and historical outperformance.
- Risk Management via Technical Condition: Using a moderate RSI avoids the extremes, aiming for coins that are strong but not necessarily at unsustainably stretched levels.
- “Best” Interpreted as Strong, Liquid, and Technically Healthy: While “best” is subjective, these filters translate it into objective criteria: high liquidity, good long-term performance, an ongoing uptrend, and a non-extreme technical setup—attributes typically associated with higher-quality, more investable cryptocurrencies on major platforms like Coinbase.
