Screening Filters
Market Cap ≥ 0 ('market_cap': {'min': '0'})
- Purpose: Include cryptocurrencies of all sizes (no minimum size cutoff).
- Rationale: Since you didn’t specify whether you prefer large, mid, or small-cap coins, this filter keeps the universe broad. Setting the minimum to 0 effectively means “don’t exclude anything based solely on size,” so you can still see both established large-cap coins (like BTC/ETH-type names) and smaller, potentially higher-risk/higher-reward projects.
24h Turnover ≥ 50,000,000 ('turnover_24h': {'min': '50000000'})
- Purpose: Ensure the cryptocurrency has strong trading liquidity and active interest.
- Rationale: A minimum of $50M in 24-hour trading volume (turnover) helps filter out illiquid or “dead” coins that are hard to get into or out of without moving the price. For a recommendation, you typically want coins that:
- Are easy to buy and sell.
- Have enough participation that prices are less likely to be manipulated by a few large traders.
Price Above 20-Day Moving Average ('moving_average_relationship': ['PriceAboveMA20', ...])
- Purpose: Capture cryptocurrencies showing short-term positive momentum.
- Rationale: If the current price is above its 20-day moving average, it suggests:
- Short-term trend is upward or has recently turned up.
- Near-term sentiment is positive rather than declining.
This aligns with looking for coins that are not currently in a short-term downtrend.
Price Above 200-Day Moving Average ('moving_average_relationship': [..., 'PriceAboveMA200'])
- Purpose: Focus on cryptocurrencies in a longer-term uptrend or at least above major support.
- Rationale: The 200-day moving average is a classic long-term trend gauge. Being above it usually indicates:
- The asset is in a broader bullish phase rather than a prolonged bear market.
- The risk of catching a long-term “falling knife” is reduced.
Combining this with the 20-day condition means you’re narrowing down to coins that look strong on both short- and long-term trend measures.
1-Year Price Change ≥ +10% ('year_price_change_pct': {'min': '10'})
- Purpose: Filter for cryptocurrencies that have delivered positive returns over the past year.
- Rationale: A minimum +10% performance over 12 months:
- Excludes assets that have significantly underperformed or been stagnant.
- Keeps attention on coins that have at least demonstrated some ability to appreciate over a meaningful period, not just in the last few days.
Why Results Match Your Request
- You asked for a cryptocurrency recommendation. These filters:
- Restrict the universe to actively traded, liquid coins, which are more practical and safer to transact in.
- Emphasize both short-term and long-term uptrends (price above 20- and 200-day moving averages), aligning with the idea of selecting technically healthy, stronger candidates rather than weak or collapsing ones.
- Require positive 1-year performance, ensuring you’re looking at coins that have recently shown the capacity to grow rather than long-term losers.
Together, these filters are appropriate because they narrow down the very large crypto universe to a more manageable list of higher-quality, liquid, and uptrending cryptocurrencies—i.e., the kind of candidates most analysts would start from when trying to “recommend a cryptocurrency.”
