What it measures

How greedy the crowd's positioning in bitcoin is. It uses small traders in CME bitcoin and micro bitcoin futures. Micro bitcoin contracts are a tenth of a bitcoin, sized for individuals, so they are a good window on retail. Exchange account data joins once it has 180 days of history.

• Half: positioningHow long small traders are against their own last three years (the Crowd Gauge).
• Half: momentumHow fast they have been adding longs over the last four weeks.
• 50 = a normal weekBoth halves are percentiles.
