Screening Filters
Market Cap ≥ 100,000,000
- Purpose: Focus on larger, more established cryptocurrencies.
- Rationale: A minimum market cap of $100M filters out very small, illiquid, or highly speculative tokens. For a user asking about coins “on an upward trend,” it makes sense to concentrate on projects that are big enough to have more stable order books, better institutional interest, and less chance of being moved by a single whale trade.
24h Turnover (Trading Volume) ≥ 10,000,000
- Purpose: Ensure the cryptos are actively traded and liquid.
- Rationale: An upward trend you can actually participate in requires enough volume so that:
- Prices are not easily manipulated.
- You can enter and exit positions without huge slippage.
Setting a $10M+ daily turnover filter targets actively traded coins where the observed “uptrend” is more credible and tradable.
Price Above 20-Day Moving Average (PriceAboveMA20)
- Purpose: Capture short-term bullish momentum.
- Rationale: The 20-day moving average is a common short‑term trend indicator. If price is above the 20‑day MA, it suggests:
- Recent price action is stronger than the short-term average.
- The coin is currently in a short-term uptrend or at least recovering from a prior downtrend.
This directly addresses “currently on an upward trend” from a short-term technical perspective.
Price Above 200-Day Moving Average (PriceAboveMA200)
- Purpose: Ensure a positive long-term trend, not just a brief bounce.
- Rationale: The 200‑day MA is a classic long‑term trend filter. When price is above it:
- The broader, multi‑month trend is considered bullish.
- It helps avoid coins that are only having a short-lived spike within a larger downtrend.
Combining this with the 20‑day MA condition means the cryptocurrency is aligned in both short- and long-term uptrends.
1-Month Price Change ≥ +5% (month_price_change_pct ≥ 5)
- Purpose: Confirm that the recent performance is meaningfully positive.
- Rationale: A minimum +5% move over the last month filters for assets where:
- The uptrend is not just theoretical on a chart but has actually produced real gains.
- The positive trend is recent enough to still matter for a current decision.
This aligns tightly with “currently on an upward trend” by demanding a positive trailing return.
Why Results Match Your Question
- The moving average filters (20-day and 200-day) directly identify cryptocurrencies that are trending upward both in the short term and the longer term.
- The 1‑month performance filter ensures that this trend is recent and significant, not just a flat or random move.
- The market cap and 24h turnover filters make sure the uptrends are in reasonably established, liquid cryptocurrencies, where the trend is more reliable and easier to trade.
