With millions of social media posta published each day, it is not only important to know that there is talk about them, but also what is the sentiment of the talk. Do people write positively about Litecoin in a given hour or negative. That is what the real-time social media sentiment data answers. It is obtained by tracking texts of social media posts on Twitter, Reddit, Telegram and other social media posts and then using machine learning to determine its sentiment polarity (0 or 1). All the sentiments are then averaged for a given latency, for example an hour and then plotted or used as an API. This is one of the premier features that BittsAnalytics provides you with.

An alternative view of approaching or constructing a cryptocurrency trading strategy is to look at the historical trading volume. One can expect that if the price is in a given narrow price range for a long time and with considerable trading volume, that there will be many limit orders in this range. They can be stop loss orders or profit taking orders. It is expected that such ranges will form a considerable support level when the price approaches from above or considerable resistance levels when prices approach them from below. This is precisely what our BittsBands try to capture. And they have been working extremely well, for case studies read our blog, an example of application can be found here: BittsBands excellent predictor of price movements.
