Reading the Scanner

Flow colours

Every row is coloured by direction of funds relative to an exchange, not by whether we think price goes up or down. Colour is the fastest read on the row.

• Inflow Funds moving ONTO an exchange (a deposit). Often a precursor to selling.
• Outflow Funds moving OFF an exchange (a withdrawal). Often accumulation into self-custody.
• Cold storage Movement to or from a cold wallet with no clear directional signal.
• Internal CEX An exchange rebalancing between its own wallets. Not a net market flow.

Anomaly tags

Tags mark why a transfer stood out, for example an unusually large size, a thin market, or a rapid burst from one actor. A tag is a reason the transfer is notable, not a buy or sell call. On the live scanner the most critical tags are highlighted most strongly.

• WHALE MOVE A single transfer large enough to move the market for that asset.
• LARGE CEX OUT An unusually large withdrawal off an exchange.
• LOW LIQUIDITY The asset is thin, so this size can swing price hard.
• RAPID SEQUENCE Several large transfers from one actor in a short window.
• FAILED LARGE A large transfer that reverted. Often a sign of a fat-finger or a probe.
• CIRCULAR FLOW Funds that loop back to where they started. Usually internal plumbing.
• INTERNAL CEX Exchange-to-itself rebalance, filtered out of net-flow reads.

Signal strength

The signal percentage is a relative score: how strong this event is versus the recent baseline for that asset. A higher number means the move is more outsized for that coin, so a 60 percent signal on a thin altcoin and on a major can mean very different dollar sizes.

Tiers and the stables filter

Tier filters group coins by market-cap band so you can focus on majors or hunt small caps. The stables toggle hides stablecoin transfers, which are mostly treasury plumbing and drown out directional signal when left on.
