How often coins flipped between up- and downtrend over the quarter. Fewer flips means cleaner, more sustained trends; lots of flips means a choppy, whipsaw market.

This report is a quarterly snapshot. Create a free account to watch the live Crypto Trend Index and get emailed when a coin you follow flips. Free during early access.
Trends come from the smma-15-29 indicator: two smoothed moving averages of daily
closing price (periods 15 and 29). A coin counts as in an uptrend on a given day when the faster
SMMA-15 sits above the slower SMMA-29, and a downtrend when below.
The universe is the top 500 coins by market capitalisation as of 2026-06-30; stablecoins, tokenized fiat and tokenized equities are excluded, since their trend signal is meaningless or out of scope. 500 coins had enough price history to produce a trend series over 91 trading days. Sectors are mapped from CoinMarketCap tags.
This report is descriptive of past trends over a closed quarter. It is not predictive and not financial advice. Figures are frozen as of publication (2026-08-17).
