How SignalsDeck builds its verdicts, in plain English. Every answer below matches the same mechanical rules the dashboard runs — no hidden logic.
Each coin gets a score built from up to five signals you can toggle on the dashboard: MACD, RSI, Stochastic, Bollinger Bands, and a moving-average trend read (MA50 vs MA200). Every enabled signal casts one vote — bullish (+1), neutral (0), or bearish (−1). We add up the votes and divide by how many signals are active, giving a score between −1 and +1.
A score at or above +0.30 reads LONG, at or below −0.30 reads SHORT, and anything in between is NEUTRAL. Trading Value doesn’t vote — it labels the result STRONG or WEAK depending on whether turnover is running above or below its recent average.
The method is fixed and mechanical. The same rules apply to every coin, every time, with no manual override. This is a data read, not a recommendation.
These are the three possible verdicts on the dashboard, based on the indicator vote above.
The STRONG / WEAK tag underneath shows whether trading value backs that read — the same LONG on above-average turnover is marked STRONG, on thin turnover it’s marked WEAK. None of this is a buy or sell instruction; it’s a snapshot of what the mechanical indicators are currently saying.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) tracks the gap between a fast and a slow moving average of price. When the MACD line sits above its signal line, momentum is tilting up; when it sits below, momentum is tilting down. On the dashboard, MACD casts one vote based on which side of the signal line it’s currently on.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) measures how fast and how far price has moved over a recent window, scored from 0 to 100. Readings above 70 are traditionally read as overbought, below 30 as oversold. It’s one of the five signals in the mechanical vote.
Bollinger Bands plot a moving average with two bands above and below it, sized to recent volatility. When price pushes outside a band, it signals a move that’s unusually large relative to recent behavior. This is one of the toggleable dashboard signals.
Stochastic compares the current close to its recent trading range, also scored 0–100. Like RSI, high readings suggest the move is stretched to the upside, low readings suggest it’s stretched to the downside.
Trading Value is the USD turnover for a coin over the selected candle, estimated from OHLC data — it may differ slightly from exchange-reported figures. It doesn’t vote on direction, since rising turnover can accompany a rally or a sell-off equally. Instead, it scales confidence: a signal backed by above-average trading value is marked STRONG, the same signal on thin volume is marked WEAK.
The Coinbase Premium compares the Coinbase (USD) close price to the Binance (USDT) close price for the same coin. A positive premium hints at firmer US spot demand; a negative one suggests the opposite. It’s shown for context only and does not cast a vote in the verdict — it also carries any USDT–USD basis, so treat it as an estimate rather than a clean spread.
Each coin detail page includes a short AI-written summary that reads the same indicator values as the mechanical vote and explains them in plain English — what’s driving the score, what to watch, and where the risk sits. It’s generated on demand and cached until the underlying indicators change. The AI commentary is automated interpretation, not advice, and it can be wrong.
The mechanical verdict is a fixed vote count — it only sees whether each indicator crossed its threshold. The AI commentary reads the same numbers but can weigh context the vote can’t, like how close a reading sits to its threshold, or how one indicator interacts with another. So the AI might flag caution on a LONG verdict, or the reverse.
Neither one overrides the other. They’re two different lenses on the same data, and we show both instead of picking one to display.
