What it means

Coin Rotation shows which groups of coins are getting busier compared with the rest of the tracked market. Groups bring together coins with similar themes, such as DeFi or memes.

The view uses turnover, meaning the value of trades. For example, a group with 20% of the displayed turnover accounts for one fifth of that trading activity. It does not mean one fifth of investors put their money into that group.

A group's share can grow because its trading increased, because other groups became quieter, or both. More trading also does not necessarily mean rising prices: activity can increase while prices fall.

The connecting ribbons show estimated changes in shares between dates. They do not follow money from one coin to another. Think of them as a way to compare the sizes of the groups over time.

In CoinScreener

Open Insights → Coin Rotation. The activity scores update after each four-hour (4h) period closes. Free shows older data; Pro shows the latest available update. Check the date before reading. See Candlesticks and Timeframes for how chart periods work.

Read the main parts together:

  • Group score: Is the group unusually busy compared with the wider market? Each coin is first compared with its own recent trading history. The group's score then compares its typical member with the market. Positive means relatively busier; negative means quieter. If all groups become busy together, scores can stay near zero.
  • Breadth: Are many coins in the group getting busier, or only a few? This measures trading activity within the group. It is different from Market Breadth, which compares prices with averages.
  • Turnover share: How much of the displayed trading belongs to each group? A large share does not automatically mean an unusually high activity score.
  • Rotation index: How far apart are the groups' activity scores? This does not predict the size of future price moves.

Groups need at least five members to receive a score. Smaller groups may still appear in the share chart. BTC and ETH start hidden in that chart. Adding them changes the total, so the percentages change too. They do not receive group scores.

Compare the weekly turnover-share columns with the group standings below. BTC and ETH are hidden in this Coin Rotation view. The ribbons estimate changes in share, not actual money transfers; the score and breadth describe a different, four-hour reading.

Three checks

  1. Check the settings and date. Compare the same periods and check whether BTC and ETH are included.
  2. Look beyond one busy coin. Read score and breadth together. Unusual Volume explains activity in individual markets.
  3. Check price and risk too. Activity alone is not a reason to trade. Read Risk and Position Sizing.
