Momentum based trading:
Very good structural setups forming across a number of alts, multi-month ranges and bases now well established.
If conditions remain favorable into Q4, the focus will be on momentum trades.
When these markets move, they trend fast and that’s where a well-designed set of filters and scanners becomes invaluable for catching the moves early.
Filter examples:
1. Structural & Technical Filters
Scan for alts that have spent 3+ months consolidating in tight ranges with compressed volatility, now breaking above multi-week/month highs on expanding ATR, while holding above rising 20/50 EMAs stacked bullishly.
2. Momentum & Volume Filters
Scan for alts showing relative strength vs BTC/ETH, breaking out on 2–3x their 20-day average volume, good daily liquidity (e.g. $10M+), rising spot/perp turnover that signals real demand, and expanding ATR confirming momentum.
3. Sector rotations
Fairly obvious
Many complain about the lack of activity on alts but theres always opportunity, you need a good filter / scanner that cuts through the noise and flags the best potential momentum based setups on your screen, for which you should have a strategy and know how to structure the trade.
