How Predict-A-Coin Works

PAC Score (Predict-A-Coin Score) is our proprietary ranking system that combines multiple data sources into a single 0-100 score. It's a weighted algorithm that analyzes:

• Social Signals – Social media volume, engagement, and sentiment analysis
• Price Momentum – Short-term and long-term price changes with acceleration detection
• Volume Activity – Trading volume relative to market capitalization
• Volatility – Price stability analysis with optimal range detection
• Market Cap Tier – Market size consideration for growth potential

⚡ Adaptive Intelligence: The algorithm automatically adjusts the weight of each factor based on current market conditions (see next question for details).

A PAC Score of 70+ indicates exceptional momentum across all metrics. The score updates in real-time and appears on every coin card. Click any coin to see the detailed breakdown of how its score is calculated.

Yes! Our algorithm uses Market Regime Detection to automatically adjust how it evaluates coins based on current market conditions:

• Bull Market (Markup) – Prioritizes momentum and volume over social hype
• Bear Market (Markdown) – Focuses on larger caps and volume conviction
• Accumulation – Emphasizes early social signals and volume accumulation
• Neutral – Uses balanced weights across all factors

Why This Matters: Strategies that work in bull markets often fail in bear markets. By adapting to market conditions, the algorithm provides more accurate predictions regardless of overall market sentiment.

💡 Example: In a bull market, momentum becomes more important than social buzz (which can be hype/noise). In a bear market, the algorithm shifts focus to volume and market cap stability.

We monitor 300+ top cryptocurrencies in real-time, analyzing price action, trading volume, market capitalization, volatility patterns, and social media signals. Our algorithms process thousands of data points every minute to identify emerging trends before they go mainstream.

Spiking Now identifies coins experiencing immediate momentum — based on aggressive short-term price action (1h), volume surges, and acceleration patterns. These are coins moving right now.

Predicted Movers identifies coins likely to spike within the next 24-48 hours — based on early social buzz, building volume, positive momentum trends, and breakout signal detection. These are coins with high probability of future movement.

Galaxy Score is a comprehensive social media performance metric rated on a scale of 0-100. It measures a cryptocurrency's buzz and online engagement across all platforms:

• Social volume (total mentions across Twitter, Reddit, news, forums)
• Social engagement (likes, shares, comments, retweets)
• Sentiment analysis (positive vs negative discussion tone)
• Influencer activity (mentions from high-reach accounts)

A Galaxy Score of 70+ indicates viral-level social activity. Think of it like a "social temperature" — the higher the score, the hotter the conversation around that coin.

AltRank is the competitive ranking position among all tracked cryptocurrencies, ordered by their Galaxy Score.

Example:
• Bitcoin has Galaxy Score 85 → AltRank #1 (highest Galaxy Score)
• Ethereum has Galaxy Score 78 → AltRank #2 (second highest)
• A coin with Galaxy Score 45 → AltRank #250 (250th highest)

Coins with AltRank under 100 are in the top tier of social activity. Lower rank numbers = higher social buzz. We display AltRank to help you identify which coins are dominating the conversation right now.

Yes — social media is a critical leading indicator for cryptocurrency price movements. We analyze real-time data from Twitter, Reddit, news sources, and crypto forums to detect emerging trends. Coins with rapidly rising mentions or positive sentiment shifts receive higher scores in our algorithm.

Our algorithms are designed for early trend detection and have been optimized through extensive backtesting. We aggregate data from multiple professional-grade sources and apply proprietary filtering to ensure quality. However, cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and unpredictable — this tool is for informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.

All data refreshes automatically every 60 seconds. You can see the last update timestamp in the header. Market regime detection runs on each page load to ensure the algorithm adapts to current conditions.
