Metric Definitions

The lowest USD price a coin has ever had.

all_time_high_price

beta

A correlation and risk metric of how much an asset typically deviates from the movement of the underlying market. Calculated daily using the last 30 days of daily returns. The "market" is CoinMarketCap's total market cap.

circulating_supply

The best approximation of the number of coins that are circulating in the market and in the general public's hands.

daily_sentiment

A measure of how positive or negative conversations on Twitter have been about a particular coin over the last 24 hours vs. the previous 20 days. A score above 50 implies that conversations have been more positive over the past 24 hours vs. the last 20 days. A score below 50, more negative.

daily_sentiment_avg_30_days

The average daily sentiment score over the last 30 days.

daily_sentiment_change_7_days

The change in daily sentiment score over the last 7 days as a percentage. For example, if daily sentiment score was 70 and is now 50 the daily sentiment change 7 days would be -.286 (-28.6%).

daily_sentiment_momentum

The change in daily sentiment score over the last 1 hour. For example, if daily sentiment score changed from 50 to 65 its momentum would be +15.

daily_sentiment_momentum_7_days

The change in 30d average daily sentiment score over the last 7 days. For example, if 30d average daily sentiment score changed from 50 to 65 its momentum would be +15.

hourly_sentiment

A measure of how positive or negative conversations on Twitter have been about a particular coin over the last hour vs. the previous 24 hours. A score above 50 implies that conversations have been more positive over the past hour vs. the last 24 hours. A score below 50, more negative.

hype_to_activity_ratio

Hype-To-Activity™ ratio measures the number of tweets a particular coin has per each $1M in reported trading volume of that coin. High Hype-to-Activity™ Ratios may suggest that a particular cryptocurrency is overhyped in social conversations relative to the amount of trading activity that it has. It is a good metric for identifying outliers or for tracking the number of social conversations a particular coin has relative to its trading volume over time. Hype to Activity™ Ratio = (30 Day Average Tweet Volume / (30 Day Average Trading Volume / 1,000,000))

long_term_sentiment

A measure of how positive or negative conversations on Twitter have been about a particular coin over the last 50 days vs. the previous 200 days. A score above 50 implies that conversations have been more positive over the past 50 days vs. the last 200 days. A score below 50, more negative.

live_price

An average price calculated from the live stream of trades from 10 of the top exchanges, calculated every 1 second but stored every 1 minute. This is the live-ticking price on the terminal. This is still in beta, so you should not rely on this.

market_cap

Market Cap is a representation of the value of the entire network for a particular cryptocurrency. The Market Cap is calculated by multiplying the current price by the circulating supply. This provides a representation of the value of all tokens currently in circulation.

market_cap_dominance

This represents the percentage of Market Cap this coin accounts for in the entire market. It is interesting to compare this dominance to other dominances, such as Tweet Dominance or Trading Dominance. Market Cap Dominance = Coin's Market Cap / Total Market Cap of All Coins.

max_supply

Maximum supply of a token. This will be null for coins that don't have a cap.

negative_tweets_percent

The percent of tweets that have negative sentiment in the last 24 hours.

neutral_tweets_percent

The percent of tweets that have neutral sentiment in the last 24 hours.

news_stories_1_day

The number of news stories on a particular asset over the last day.

news_stories_7_day

The number of news stories in the last 7 days.

news_stories_30_day_avg

The 30-day average number of news stories about a particular asset.

nvt_ratio

The NVT Ratio is calculated by dividing the network value (Market Cap) by the average trading volume of a cryptocurrency over the last 30 days. The NVT Ratio is sometimes thought of as a P/E ratio for the crypto space. A lower NVT ratio implies that a given cryptocurrency is trading at a low multiple of its average daily volume. A higher NVT ratio implies that a given cryptocurrency is trading at a high multiple of its average daily volume.

nvtweet_ratio

The NVTweet™ Ratio compares a cryptocurrency's social conversation to its Market Cap. The NVTweet™ Ratio looks at how many tweets a particular coin has per $1M in Market Cap. The lower a coin's NVTweet™ Ratio, the more tweet volume it has per $1M in Market Cap. An increasing NVTweet™ Ratio could suggest that a particular coin's market is becoming increasingly driven by institutional trading. As Market Cap is increasing faster than social volume, this may suggest less retail involvement in the market for a particular coin. NVTweet™ Ratio = Market Cap / 1,000,000 / 30 Day Average Tweet Volume
