What it measures

How greedy the crowd's positioning in crypto is. Crypto here means bitcoin and ether futures on CME, the regulated US exchange, where small traders' positions are published every week. Once our own daily collection of exchange account data (Bybit, Binance) has 180 days of history, it joins and the reading updates daily.

• 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.
