How to Assess the Health of the Crypto Markets

Published: February 18, 2026


Our Crypto Market Outlook provides an unbiased view of the current crypto market by examining the CCi30 (Crypto Currency Index 30).


The CCi30 is a rules-based index created to objectively track the performance of the entire cryptocurrency market. By monitoring the 30 largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization (excluding stablecoins), it provides the most reliable benchmark for investment professionals seeking broad crypto exposure.

 

To access the Crypto Market Outlook, go to the Markets page.

You will see the CCi30 and its 30 constituent cryptocurrencies displayed by default in a tile view:

Each tile card includes the crypto name and ticker, intraday price data, Short-Term Health status, Risk (VQ%), 52-week price range, and a 1-day chart.

The CCi30 card also includes the Short-Term Health distribution and displays the percentages of Green, Yellow, and Red Zone cryptocurrencies in the CCi30.


The Short-Term Health distribution can be an important gauge of how the overall crypto market is performing. When most of the assets that make up an index are in the Red Zone, the market tends to bog down. In the above screenshot, over 93% of the CCi30 constituents are in the Red Zone.


TradeSmith uses the Short-Term Health indicator for the crypto markets to focus on shorter-term trends that typically last less than three months.


The List view provides a birds-eye view of the CCi30 cryptocurrencies. You can view the same information; however, the table view allows you to sort by any column header. For example, I can sort by ST Health to display cryptos in the Green Zone by clicking on the Health (ST) column header.
