Cheap under $1

Screening Filters

1. Price max = $1

   • Purpose: Find cryptocurrencies trading below $1.
   • Rationale: This is the most direct filter for the user’s request. It ensures the screener only returns cryptos whose current price is under $1, which matches the stated goal.

2. RSI category = moderate

   • Purpose: Favor assets that are not extremely overbought or oversold.
   • Rationale: A moderate RSI typically suggests the asset is in a more neutral momentum zone, which can help avoid very stretched moves and may indicate a more balanced entry setup.

3. Price above 20-day moving average

   • Purpose: Identify cryptos with short-term upward price strength.
   • Rationale: If price is above the 20-day moving average, it often indicates the asset is trading with positive near-term momentum rather than weakness. For low-priced cryptos, this helps filter for names showing some technical support.

4. 24h price change ≥ 0%

   • Purpose: Exclude cryptos currently declining on the day.
   • Rationale: This helps focus on names that are at least holding steady or moving upward, which is useful when looking for candidates with better short-term momentum.

5. 24h dollar volume > monthly average dollar volume

   • Purpose: Find cryptos seeing stronger-than-usual trading activity.
   • Rationale: Higher current volume versus the monthly average can indicate renewed market interest, breakout attempts, or increased liquidity. This makes the results more actionable and less likely to include dormant low-priced coins.

6. is trending = True

   • Purpose: Prioritize cryptos currently attracting market attention.
   • Rationale: A trending asset is more likely to have meaningful participation and price movement. Combined with the sub-$1 price filter, this helps surface low-priced cryptos that are actively moving rather than simply cheap and inactive.

Why Results Match:

• Yes, the filters match the user’s request. The price max = $1 filter directly targets cryptocurrencies priced under $1.
• The other filters do not change the price requirement; they simply refine the list to cryptos that are more liquid, more active, and showing positive technical momentum.
• This is useful because many sub-$1 cryptos are low-quality or inactive. These added filters help surface the ones with a better chance of being relevant right now.
• We do not use unsupported indicators here; the selected filters are standard screening conditions and are effective for narrowing the search to the most relevant under-$1 cryptocurrencies.
