Description

Identifies short-term strength and recovery setups among altcoins. While broader indicators like the Altcoin Rotation Radar define the market's macro structure, Altcoin Opportunities focuses on the micro — revealing which assets are starting to show momentum, reversal patterns, or early signs of renewed interest.

What this endpoint provides

A ranked snapshot of the most active or promising altcoins based on short-term price deltas, momentum signals, and distance from all-time highs. It delivers a clean list of assets currently exhibiting favorable behavior — continuation, recovery, or stability — along with a contextual summary of the overall altcoin environment.

Interpretation & Use

Altcoin Opportunities acts as a short-term lens within the broader altcoin cycle. It highlights which assets are gaining traction and which are showing early recovery setups — helping investors and analysts focus on emerging momentum without manually scanning charts.

Selection criteria for top opportunities:

• **Momentum continuation** → coins maintaining strong weekly trends.

• **Reversal setups** → recovering assets showing early turnarounds after multi-day drawdowns.

• **Distance to ATH** → measures how far each asset remains from its all-time high; helps identify both momentum leaders (closer to ATH) and deep-value opportunities (still heavily discounted).

Best used with:

• **Altcoin Rotation Radar** → to confirm the broader phase of capital rotation.

• **Altcoin Appetite Index** → to measure overall market risk appetite.

Together, these indicators provide a complete framework for identifying where altcoin opportunities exist, how strong they are, and when the broader cycle supports action.
