Screening Filters
Market Cap ≥ $500,000,000
- Purpose: Focus on larger, more established tokens rather than tiny, speculative coins.
- Rationale: When users ask for “popular” cryptocurrencies to buy, they usually mean widely recognized projects with significant adoption and lower risk of being scams or pump‑and‑dumps. A minimum market cap of $500M filters out micro‑caps and keeps the search to major, more credible tokens that are actually on most mainstream exchanges and in the public eye.
24h Turnover ≥ $50,000,000
- Purpose: Ensure high trading activity and liquidity.
- Rationale: “Popular for buying” implies that a lot of people are actively trading the token right now. A high 24-hour trading volume (turnover) means:
- It’s actively traded (not a dead or illiquid coin).
- You can usually enter and exit positions without huge slippage.
- The token is genuinely in focus among traders/investors, not just “popular” in news or social media only.
RSI Category = “Moderate”
- Purpose: Avoid coins that are extremely overbought or oversold.
- Rationale: A token that’s “popular to buy right now” but already extremely overbought (very high RSI) may be at risk of a sharp pullback. A “moderate” RSI suggests:
- There is interest and momentum, but not at an extreme blow‑off top level.
- The token is not in a panic sell‑off either (very low RSI), which wouldn’t usually align with being “popular for buying” in a positive sense.
This makes the results more balanced: popular, but not in a manic or capitulation phase.
Weekly Price Change ≥ +5%
- Purpose: Capture tokens that are gaining and attracting fresh attention.
- Rationale: Popular coins right now often show recent positive performance that draws in more buyers. A minimum 5% price increase over the last week:
- Filters for tokens with recent upward momentum.
- Aligns with the idea that many people are currently buying or speculating on them.
It avoids flat or declining tokens that may be large and liquid but not “in play” at the moment.
is_trending = True
- Purpose: Focus on tokens currently trending among traders/investors.
- Rationale: This is the most direct answer to “currently popular”:
- “Trending” typically incorporates factors like sudden volume spikes, search interest, watchlist additions, and social/media visibility.
- It ensures we’re not just screening big coins, but those actively in the spotlight right now.
Why Results Match Your Question
- You asked for tokens/cryptos that are currently popular for buying, not just any random coin.
- The market cap and turnover filters ensure the list is made of major, liquid tokens that real money is flowing into.
- The weekly price gain and trending filters focus on coins that are actually in demand right now, with visible buying interest and attention.
- The moderate RSI filter avoids extremes, giving you candidates that are active and popular without being obviously overheated or collapsing.
Together, these filters screen for large, liquid, currently trending cryptocurrencies with recent gains and balanced momentum, which is a good operational definition of “popular for buying right now.”
