24/7, in sessions
There is no opening bell, so OCA labels time by the global sessions that drive volume: Asia, Europe, the EU/US overlap, US hours, the US evening and the weekend. The clock in the header shows the session now.

Open Crypto Analysis is under development and this site is only a first draft. Models, lists, pages and
results will change as we build it out, and nothing here is final.

Open Crypto Analysis
Open Crypto Analysis (OCA) brings the Open Stock Analysis approach to digital assets: trading models built to do two things, in order: make money and protect your capital. Crypto never closes, so OCA watches the market around the clock, learns when each coin is busiest, and plans trades with an entry window, a stop and targets.

Peak hours
Volume and range bunch up in a few hours of the week. OCA measures each coin's activity by hour of the week from 30 days of hourly bars and only plans day trade entries inside its peak windows.
A defined trading day
Every day trade has a stop and is flattened by 23:55 US Eastern, so no position drifts overnight into a thin book. Weekend trades use half size.
Three models, three jobs
CIP is for day trading. TAM is for swing trading and spotting longer holds. FAM provides the fundamental case for a long hold: tokenomics, supply and usage.
OCA CIP — day trading
The Coins In Play model finds the most active coins on the exchange and ranks a day trade top 10 by the size of the move, volume against an average day, momentum, peak hours, the setup and order book liquidity — with entry, stop and targets. Updated every 15 minutes.
OCA TAM — swing trades
The Technical Analysis Model lists the best 10 swing trades among the 100 most traded coins on the exchange: buy and hold for days, weeks or months. Each has an entry, average-down levels, sell points with dates, a stop and sell warnings, followed hour by hour. Updated every hour.
OCA FAM — the long-hold case
The Fundamental Analysis Model lists the best 10 long holds among the largest coins on the exchange: buy and hold for months or years. It scores market cap, liquidity, supply, how far a coin is under its high and its long-term trend, with an accumulation zone, sell points with dates and sell warnings. Updated every 4 hours.
How coins in play works
- Find the active coins Every USD pair on the exchange with at least $1M of 24-hour volume, stablecoins left out, ranked by volume and the size of the move. BTC and ETH are always analyzed.
- Measure the move and the setup 1, 4 and 24 hour and 7 day changes, volume against an average day, ATR and daily range, the 7 day breakout level, and MACD, SAR, RSI and the daily trend on hourly bars.
- Time it with peak hours Each coin's busiest hours of the week. A coin inside or near its peak window scores higher and its plan names the entry window.
- Check the book and the market Spread and depth within 2% of the price on the exchange's order book and the BTC trend. Thin books, wide spreads, pump-and-fade moves and a BTC sell-off are flagged.
- Plan the trade A buy zone, an add price, a stop and four sell targets, the entry window, the 23:55 ET flatten and half size on weekends.
