Flashpoint
Everything the engine watches
Five conditions, read together as one stack. Any of them alone is noise — Flashpoint cares about the moment they line up on a single ticker.
Volume expansion
A move usually starts in the tape. Flashpoint keeps a rolling baseline per market and scores volume expansion against it in real time — not raw volume, which flatters the majors, but deviation from each ticker's own normal.
- Rolling windows per market, updated on every trade
- Expansion scored against the ticker's own baseline
- Trade-count acceleration tracked alongside notional
Open interest
Perp open interest is fuel. When OI expands while price barely moves, positioning is building under the surface — and someone will be wrong. Flashpoint polls OI continuously and reads its slope, not just its level.
- Continuous OI polling across covered perp markets
- Slope and acceleration, not snapshots
- Divergence between OI build-up and price movement
Liquidity thinning
The order book decides how far a move travels. Flashpoint measures resting depth around mid — how much size actually sits within reach — and flags when it drains. Thin book plus building pressure is the setup for range expansion.
- Real depth within a band around mid, both sides
- Thinning tracked as a trend, not a threshold
- Bid/ask depth imbalance as a directional hint
Aggressive flow
When takers lean on one side of the book, someone knows something or needs something. Flashpoint reads taker buy/sell imbalance over short windows and separates one-sided pressure from churn.
- Taker buy/sell delta per window
- Cumulative flow over the recent tape
- Burst detection — sustained pressure, not single prints
Attention compression
Before a move, activity concentrates. Flashpoint ranks every covered market by activity share and flags when one ticker starts absorbing an outsized slice of the flow.
- Cross-market activity ranking, refreshed live
- Concentration score per ticker
- Compression detected as the distribution narrows
The execution window
Each condition feeds a score. When enough of the stack confirms on one ticker, Flashpoint opens the execution window — an alert with the readings that triggered it. It flags conditions; the decision stays yours. A token on Solana will gate the full terminal: holders get every signal live.
