Heat score Heat factor breakdown
21
Heat scoreCOLDOverall heat score
How the overall score is built: market gate 42 (applied to everything) × geometric mean of the four factors 50 (momentum, liquidity, fundamentals and supply, multiplied together) → 21. It is not a simple average: a weak market holds the whole score down, and a single weak factor drags the rest with it.
Factor breakdown (0–100; higher means more conditions are in place)
Regime (market gate)gate
42
→ The market gate is neutral. Asset-specific factors decide this one.
Momentum
40
→ The recent price trend is down. Going against it needs a reason.
Liquidity (traded volume depth)
40
→ Almost nothing is trading. There is no assurance you could enter or exit at the price shown.
Fundamentals (TVL / market cap)
50
→ TVL is unremarkable relative to market cap.
Supply lightness
76
→ Most of the supply already circulates, so unlock pressure is light.
Development activity → No public code updates in the last four weeks. Development may have stalled, or it may be happening in private repositories.
