Drawdown From All-Time High
Price Action
14/25
56%
How far the price sits below its peak. Deep drawdowns are common to abandoned and post-collapse tokens, but also to assets in a prolonged bear market — on its own this measures price history, not conduct.
Volume Anomaly
Trading Signals
1/20
5%
Abnormal volume-to-market-cap ratio is the primary indicator of wash trading or liquidity traps
Supply Structure
Tokenomics
3/20
15%
Free float (circulating vs total/max supply). A low float means both future dilution from locked reserves and concentration enabling single-hand price control (estimated; verified holder data is scored separately).
Price Volatility
Price Action
2/15
13%
Extreme short-term price swings are a hallmark of coordinated pump-and-dump schemes
