FlowScore — Glossary

InflowScan Glossary
FlowScore is InflowScan’s composite 0–100 score for each tracked crypto asset, blending ETF flow direction, derivatives positioning, liquidity, price confirmation, and macro context into one daily reading.

FlowScore is calculated daily for each tracked asset — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP — after the prior trading session’s flow data has settled. The score runs from 0 to 100 with 50 as the neutral midpoint. Numbers below 25 read bearish; 26–45 weak; 46–55 neutral; 56–70 constructive; 71–85 bullish; 86–100 strong.

FlowScore blends five input dimensions into the single reading. ETF flow direction and momentum captures whether creations or redemptions are leading and how that compares with the recent trend. Market liquidity reads the stablecoin “dry-powder” backdrop. Derivatives positioning reflects the state of the futures and perpetuals market. Price-trend confirmation checks whether price action agrees with the flow signal. Macro context places the move against the broader market backdrop. The relative emphasis of each dimension is calibrated internally and not published.

When a dimension has no data on a given day, the score is computed from the dimensions that did report, and the platform surfaces a confidence percentage alongside the reading — a FlowScore built from all five dimensions reads at full confidence, and confidence steps down when an input is missing. The model never substitutes a guessed value for an absent input.

The composite also drives a market-state label — Confirmation, Accumulation, Divergence, Distribution, or Transition — that summarises how the flow and price pictures line up. The label is shorthand for what the data is doing — not a recommendation. FlowScore is a structural reading of the tape, not a price prediction.
