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.

Five engines feed the composite. ETF Flows (30%) weights direction, magnitude versus the 30-day average, and consecutive-day persistence. Liquidity (20%) reads the 7-day change in stablecoin issuance and exchange reserves — the dry-powder picture. Derivatives (20%) blends funding-rate proximity to neutral, 7-day open interest and price confluence, and the long-versus-short liquidation imbalance. Price Confirmation (20%) reads price against the 50-day moving average, 7-day relative strength versus a benchmark, and realized volatility rank. Market Context (10%) combines NAV premium and a macro composite of dollar, Nasdaq, and 10-year yield 7-day moves.

When an engine has no data on a given day, its weight redistributes proportionally across the engines that did report. The platform surfaces the resulting confidence percentage alongside the score — a FlowScore built from all five engines reads at 100% confidence, while one missing engine drops confidence by that engine’s original weight.

The composite also drives a market-state label from the ETF and Price engines: Confirmation, Accumulation, Divergence, Distribution, or Transition. 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.
