Crypto market analysis — daily research notes

Original analytical reports on public crypto data. Cross-source signals, derivatives positioning, on-chain flows, developer activity. No predictions, no signals.

What you'll find here

Original analytical research on public cryptocurrency market data, published daily. Every report begins with a specific cross-source disagreement we noticed in the data — on-chain activity contradicting price action, derivatives positioning rejecting retail sentiment, developer momentum fading while a token rallies — and works through what the public data actually shows. No predictions, no buy/sell signals, no price targets. The job is to describe; readers draw their own conclusions.

We pull from seven independent sources: CoinGecko, DeFiLlama, Binance Futures, GitHub, Fear & Greed Index, FRED, and crypto news feeds. Every figure traces to a named source and the timestamp at which we captured it. Edited by Jonathan Reed; full process on the methodology page.
