Methodology

Watchlist Setup Scores

Coiling, Momentum, and Reversion/Dip scores are market-screening heuristics. They are meant to organize research, not predict trades.

Important distinction
Setup scores are not signals, recommendations, or probability estimates. They compress recent candle, volume, funding, and trend context into a sortable watchlist view.

Direct answer

HypeBasis calculates three setup scores from public Hyperliquid market data. Coiling looks for quiet compression, Momentum looks for active breakouts or runners, and Reversion/Dip looks for stretched selloffs. Each score is normalized from 0 to 100, where higher means the market more closely matches that setup style.

Coiling score

Looks for compression before a possible expansion. It rewards tighter Bollinger Band width, volume dry-up, constructive trend context, price above 50 EMA, daily trend, and relative strength versus BTC.

Tightness 30% + volume dry-up 30% + 100-candle trend 10% + 1h EMA trend 10% + daily EMA trend 10% + RS vs BTC 10%.

Momentum score

Looks for markets already moving with participation. It rewards relative volume, RSI strength, and the latest one-hour price move.

Relative volume 40% + RSI strength 30% + 1h price change 30%.

Reversion/Dip score

Looks for stretched downside moves that may be candidates for mean-reversion research. It rewards oversold RSI, price below the lower Bollinger Band, and elevated relative volume.

Oversold RSI 40% + below lower Bollinger Band 40% + relative volume 20%.

Context columns

  • ATR and 2x ATR stop distance show how wide a volatility-based stop might need to be.
  • Funding is annualized from the current Hyperliquid funding rate and can flag crowded long or short pressure.
  • Open interest gives position-size context, but high OI alone does not prove a good setup.
  • RS vs BTC compares the coin/BTC ratio with its 50-period average and labels it Strong, Neutral, or Weak.
  • Daily trend checks whether the latest daily close is above or below the daily 50 EMA.

How to use the scores

  • Use Coiling to find markets worth reviewing for compression and breakout planning.
  • Use Momentum to find markets that already have price and volume participation.
  • Use Reversion/Dip to find selloffs that deserve a stricter risk review.
  • Compare setup scores with live funding, open interest, liquidity, and market detail pages before making any decision.
  • Treat a high score as a research queue, not as a trigger.
