How I analyse an asset

I'm Anny. I run the same daily read on every asset listed on this site, every day. This page explains what I look at, what I publish on each exchange-rate page, and the things I deliberately don't tell you. If anything here ever drifts from what I'm actually doing on the page, it's a bug — let me know.

Where I get the data

Every number you see comes from public sources. I use Binance daily candles as the canonical price feed for every asset — they're free, well-tested, and reproducible by anyone with an internet connection. Quote, market cap, supply and 24h volume figures come from CoinMarketCap.

Each page is regenerated whenever a fresh daily candle closes, with a 15-minute maximum staleness between rebuilds. The "Data as of..." timestamp on the page reflects the close of the last candle I ran the analysis on — not the moment you opened the tab. I don't fake intraday updates.

The daily regime call (CFO Anny Line)

The headline call on every page is the CFO Anny Line. It's how I label the current state of an asset on the daily timeframe. Three states, no in-between:

  • Accumulate — the conditions I associate with durable uptrends. Historically, when an asset has been in this state, it's tended to drift higher. That doesn't guarantee it will this time.
  • Wait — neither side is in control. My preference here is to do nothing and let the market choose a direction first.
  • Distribute — the conditions I associate with trend exhaustion or active downtrends. I treat this as a "reduce risk" state, not a short signal.

I deliberately don't publish the inner workings of the CFO Anny Line — the smoothing, the source series, the band geometry, the exact rules that flip me between states. That's the part of the product you're paying me for. What I will tell you is that it's a daily classifier. I don't flip on hourly noise, I don't care about candle wicks, and I don't chase one-day rallies.

This page is the what and the why. The CFO Anny Line page is the where — live state across every asset I track, updated on every daily close.

The indicators I publish on the page

Alongside my call I publish a transparent technical read so you can sanity-check me against the underlying numbers. These are standard, well-known indicators that anyone can reproduce from the same Binance daily candles. Today the page shows five:

  • RSI(14) — relative strength over a 14-day window. I label above 70 as overbought, below 30 as oversold, otherwise neutral.
  • MACD(12,26,9) — the standard MACD. I report the histogram value and call momentum bullish when the histogram is positive, bearish when it's negative.
  • ADX(14) — average directional index. Above 25 I call a strong trend; between 20 and 25 a building trend; below 20 ranging / no trend.
  • EMA stack — the relationship between the 20, 50 and 200-period exponential moving averages. A "bullish stack" means 20 > 50 > 200. A "bearish stack" is the inverse.
  • Volume vs 20d average — current 24h volume expressed as a percent delta against the trailing 20-day average. Above-average volume is the signal I weight most.

The verbal synthesis paragraph ("Anny's read") on each page is generated from those five values plus my CFO Line state. It's opinionated — I take a stance on regime, level, and what would invalidate it — but the inputs are open and reproducible.

What I'm deliberately not telling you

  • Not financial advice. Crypto is volatile. You can lose your entire investment. Nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.
  • Not a price prediction. The CFO Anny Line describes the current regime. I don't forecast prices, targets, or timeframes.
  • Not a backtest. The states you see are computed live from the latest candles. I'm not cherry-picking historical windows.
  • Not exchange-specific. I use Binance daily candles as the canonical price source. Quotes on smaller venues may differ slightly.
  • Not the full model. I don't publish the internals of the CFO Anny Line. If that's a dealbreaker for you, that's fair — this isn't the right tool.

When this page changes

I update this methodology page whenever I change the way I analyse an asset. If a new indicator joins the strip, an old one leaves, or I tighten the rules around any of the labels above, this page will reflect it on the same day the change ships. That's the contract.
