How it's calculated

Alternative.me's index aggregates 6 factors: volatility (25%), market momentum/volume (25%), social media sentiment (15%), surveys (15%, paused), Bitcoin dominance (10%), Google Trends (10%). We mirror their index and present it in 14 languages with local context.

Limitations

The index is BTC-centric. Altcoin sentiment can diverge sharply. Use as one input among many — see our Methodology for how we combine multiple signals.
