How to Read the Trend Estimate on Every Token

How to Read the Trend Estimate on Every Token

October 18, 2026 ยท Nova Stories

Tap any token in AlphaPulse or open its detail sheet in RawScan, and you'll see a new line under the price stats: a trend estimate. It says one of three things โ€” and unlike most crypto "signals," it shows its work right next to the verdict.

๐ŸŸข Likely keeps climbing
๐Ÿ”ด Likely cooling off
โšช Mixed signals

The five ingredients

Each token's own data is scored, point by point, into a simple tally. Nothing is hidden โ€” the card lists every reason that moved the needle:

๐Ÿ“ˆ 24h momentum

Strong upward moves add points โ€” but there's a twist: a token up 300% or more in 24 hours gets a penalty, because our own data shows spikes that big usually pull back hard. Steady +50% climbs score better than vertical moonshots.

๐Ÿ‘€ Attention velocity

Is scanner attention on the token still accelerating, or fading? Rising attention adds a point; dying attention subtracts one.

๐Ÿ’ง Liquidity fragility

Liquidity under $25k is flagged as fragile and subtracts a point โ€” thin books mean one seller can crash the price.

๐Ÿ†• New-and-spiked combo

A token less than 24 hours old that's already up more than 200% gets another penalty. Brand-new plus already-spiked is the classic rug-and-dump shape.

Tally two points or more of the good stuff and you get ๐ŸŸข. Score โˆ’1 or worse and it's ๐Ÿ”ด. Everything in between lands on โšช Mixed signals โ€” which is itself useful information: it means the data genuinely doesn't lean either way.

See it in action

We tested the estimator on two shapes of token. A MINTER-style spike โ€” up more than 12,000% in a day โ€” triggers the overextension penalty and the new-and-spiked penalty, and lands deep in the red: ๐Ÿ”ด Likely cooling off, with the reasons listed. A steady climber โ€” moderate gains, accelerating attention, solid liquidity โ€” comes out ๐ŸŸข Likely keeps climbing.

What it is not

It is an estimate, not a prediction. The card says so, every time: "Estimate from N signals โ€” not a prediction. Not financial advice." It doesn't see insider wallets, upcoming listings, or rug pulls in progress. It reads the numbers the token itself shows and gives you a structured second opinion โ€” the same checklist a disciplined trader would run by hand, done instantly.

Use it as a filter, not a fortune teller. When it says ๐Ÿ”ด, slow down. When it says ๐ŸŸข, keep your stops anyway. And always do your own research.
