Crypto
Cryptocurrencies — digital assets recorded on blockchains and traded outside traditional banking.
Coverage of Crypto is holding steady : 99 signals on the latest tracked day, up 130% from its three-week baseline of 43, across 5 domains (down from 35 a week ago). That makes it the #45 most-covered of the 337 concerns we track.
Crypto is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 43 signals a day across 5 domains (46 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 54+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 5. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
