These 5 Cointelegraph Markets Pro alerts generated a cumulative profit of over 223%

Cointelegraph Markets Pro’s VORTECS™ Scores, NewsQuakes™ and Tweet Volume indicators helped subscribers identify five profitable trades.

In Cointelegraph Markets Pro’s latest VORTECS™ Report, the institutional-grade crypto trading platform displayed how its members could have captured a cumulative 223% gain by following five trades based on three different Markets Pro indicators. The report depicts trading alerts generated between February 12 – 18, 2023. 

The potential gains available to Cointelegraph Markets Pro subscribers significantly outperform a simple buy-and-hold strategy during the same period, which would’ve yielded a maximum return of 13% for Bitcoin (BTC) and 12% for Ethereum (ETH).

Cointelegraph Markets Pro used the VORTECS™ Score, NewsQuakes™ and Tweet Volume indicators to alert subscribers of these price changes before they occurred. In a previous article, it was explained how using these alerts in conjunction with indicators can help traders find higher-probability trades on a consistent basis.

VORTECS™ Alerts

1. HXRO — 100% gain

The biggest gainer last week came from a VORTECS™ Score alert on HXRO. The asset was trading at $0.10 when a string of VORTECS™ Scores as high as 95 lit green. Scores this high emphasize that current conditions for the token strongly resemble bullish trends from the past.

Four days later, the price skyrocketed to $0.20, an incredible increase of 100%!

HXRO is the native token of the HXRO Network, which aims to make it easier to trade in crypto derivatives. People can stake their tokens, use them to take part in voting on changes to the network and get discounts on the cost of making transactions on the system.

2. Everipedia (IQ) — 29% gain

IQ continues surprising subscribers with consistent gains! Already a top performer in 2023, IQ saw a green score of 75 when it was trading at $0.07 on February 15. Just 13 hours later, the price shot up 29% to $0.09!

IQ is the native token of Everipedia, also known as IQ.wiki, which is an informative knowledge platform built on blockchain technology. The IQ token powers all application and governance processes for the platform.

3. Polygon (MATIC) — 22% gain

MATIC’s price went on a steady climb alongside a couple of major developments. On February 15, a NewsQuake™ about Polygon’s partnership with Square Enix popped up when MATIC was trading at $1.27.

Traders who bought at this price point could have enjoyed a 22% price increase when the token’s price hit its weekly peak of $1.55 three days later!

On the same day, Polygon announced that it would soon launch the beta version of its zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine. This gives them a first-mover advantage in launching a public mainnet, a bullish development that leads to positive sentiment change.

MATIC is the native token of the Polygon network, a leading layer 2 scaling solution on Ethereum. The token is used for paying fees, staking and governance.

4. Radiant (RDNT) — 38% gain

A stream of listings for RDNT preceded massive price movements. Three NewsQuakes™ alerted Cointelegraph Markets Pro subscribers about the token’s listings on exchanges Gate.io and Bybit. Only a few days after this news, RDNT’s price rose 38%!

RDNT is the native token of Radiant Capital, a decentralized non-custodial liquidity market protocol on Arbitrum. Radiant users can deposit any major asset on any major chain and borrow a variety of supported assets across multiple chains.

Tweet Volume

The Tweet Volume indicator measures a project’s activity on the social media platform. The rationale behind its use is that widespread community-driven discussions can sometimes drive an asset’s price up or down.

The stock and cryptocurrency frenzy in 2021, driven by online forums like Reddit’s WallStreetBets, is a prime example of this idea.

5. Horizen (ZEN) — 35% gain

The Tweet Volume Gainers chart continues to help subscribers track increases in interest and discussion — typically a bullish indication — as price movement goes hand-in-hand with Twitter hype.

On February 12, ZEN was in second place on the Twitter volume chart trading around $11.41. Just four days later, its price had shot up by 35% to $15.36!

ZEN is the native cryptocurrency of Horizen blockchain network. ZEN functions as a privacy coin, as well as a governance and utility token for users of the Horizon ecosystem.

How to reap the benefits of Cointelegraph Markets Pro

These gains, which cumulatively add up to 223%, occurred over the week of Feb. 12 – 18, 2023. It’s perhaps too idealistic to assume that subscribers captured all of this value, but even those who captured a fifth of it would’ve gained nearly a 45% return.

Another important note — the alerts for each of these moves were triggered before the move actually occurred. It’s easy to spot ideal entry opportunities in hindsight, but Cointelegraph Markets Pro uses institutional-grade technology to help traders spot these opportunities in real time, often before they happen.

There’s a catch though; only Cointelegraph Markets Pro subscribers are privy to these alerts, and only subscribers receive the Markets Pro VORTECS™ Report, which is jammed full of wins like these on a weekly basis.

For those tired of sitting on the sidelines while other crypto traders lock in gains, there’s only one place to go.

Bitcoin ‘Santa rally’ buyers step in to drive BTC price to $98K

VORTECS Report: NewsQuakes boost DOGE hype, while TEL score rings a bell for traders

As the world waits for Elon Musk's Saturday Night Live appearance — and a possible nod to crypto's best friend — an exchange listing proves that real news can also propel DOGE to new heights.

What can you say about Dogecoin that hasn’t been said before? How about this: Elon Musk’s tweets aren’t the only thing that let the DOGE out.

This week, right in the middle of the retail trading frenzy that has turned everyone’s favorite cartoon puppy into a rabid bull-doge, Cointelegraph Markets Pro subscribers had the opportunity to chow down on a NewsQuake™ from Bitfinex, which can be seen as further exciting a rally all the way from $0.48 to $0.68.

Dogecoin (DOGE) Analysis

In the chart below you can see where the news was delivered to Markets Pro members via Discord and their mobile notifications (the red circle) and the immediate and dramatic price rise that followed.

NewsQuakes™ are sourced from a real-time aggregation engine, collated from over a thousand primary sources every minute and analyzed by an AI algorithm to determine the historical significance of the news. NewsQuakes™ are trained on staking announcements, exchange listings and key partnerships, and because they are delivered without human intervention, they can often be the fastest way for market participants to learn about major events in the cryptocurrency space.

In this case, everything seems to have worked as if it was a regular coin: A listing on a big exchange resulted in immediate price action that began to recede after roughly a day. Yet, when dealing with Dogecoin-related news, it doesn’t hurt to exercise caution and remember that this asset’s relationship with the news cycle is unlike any other.

iExec (RLC) Analysis

On the subject of NewsQuakes™ there was another perfect example this week of how the early trader gets the profits.

iExec (RLC) was hit by two consecutive NewsQuakes™, helping the asset add around 70% of value over the week. On May 4 came the announcement of a Coinbase listing – traditionally a very powerful type of news (first red circle in the chart below).

A similar announcement from Bithumb came in just 36 hours after the first, compounding the coin’s momentum (second red circle).

At this point, it becomes challenging to attribute the price dynamic to one of the two events, since the Coinbase announcement’s effects hadn’t yet expired (the system looks at 72-hour returns) when Bithumb’s kicked in.

Those Markets Pro subscribers who quickly acted on either of the NewsQuakes™ are likely fine with not knowing the exact contributions of each listing, however. In both cases, the value of being first to the news is clear from the immediate positive price action.

Telcoin (TEL) Analysis

This analysis wouldn’t be complete without a word about Telcoin (TEL), which rallied dramatically to ascend from just $0.11 to over $0.48 shortly after a Markets Pro member suggested adding the cryptocurrency to the platform.

While VORTECS™ Scores can take time to generate, they still look at the entire trading history of the newly-listed asset — thus when Telcoin’s first VORTECS™ Score was displayed, the algorithm already had clear confidence in bullish conditions for the token.

As seen in the chart below, VORTECS™ continued to identify strong bullish momentum even as the price rose, peaking at an almost-unprecedented score of 95 around 48 hours before the final push towards the $0.48 price spike.

The VORTECS™ Score is available exclusive to Cointelegraph Markets Pro members, and includes sentiment analysis, tweet and trading volume, and price action as components of the algorithm — which are then weighted according to a proprietary formula based on how similar these are to historical conditions. If there is a similarity in these factors, the score will be higher when historical precedents have most consistently led to higher prices.

VORTECS™ Score returns since January 3

The Markets Pro team has been tracking 42 sample strategies since January 3 2021, based on entering a position when the VORTECS™ Score crosses a threshold, and exiting it either when another score is reached or after a set period of time. The following data is taken from a snapshot on May 8th 2021 at 1pm ET. The full methodology is available here.

Holding Bitcoin: 79% return

Holding Top 100 altcoins: 485% return

Best-performing time-based VORTECS™ strategy (Enter 80 / Exit 24 hours): 2,467% return

Best-performing score-based VORTECS™ strategy (Enter 80, Exit re-crossing 80): 2,800% return

Cointelegraph Markets Pro is available exclusively to subscribers on a monthly basis at $99 per month, or annually with two free months included. It carries a 14-day money-back policy, to ensure that it fits the crypto trading and investing research needs of subscribers, and members can cancel anytime.
