Methodology

EKX.AI scans market data from major exchanges in real-time to detect trending patterns worth watching.

Last updated: 4/18/2026

Core Concept

We don't predict market direction. We simply answer one question: "What is behaving unusually?" Anomalies don't equal opportunities, but patterns worth watching often start with anomalies.

Trend Definition

Trends are ranked by volume/momentum/volatility; EMA20 is a confirmation tag, not a hard filter.

Three Anomaly Types

🔥

Volume Spike

24-hour trading volume exceeds the 7-day average by 3x or more. This often indicates unusual accumulation or distribution activity.

volume_24h > avg_volume_7d × 3

📈

Breakout

Price breaks above the 30-day high or below the 30-day low. Breakouts often signal the start of a new trend.

price > high_30d OR price < low_30d

⚡

Volatility Surge

1-hour price volatility exceeds the 24-hour average by 2x or more. High volatility often precedes significant price moves.

volatility_1h > avg_volatility_24h × 2
