What does a market pulse score of 91 mean?

Cryptomat's pulse gauges the 24-hour distribution of bullish, bearish and neutral classified stories weighted by importance. 91 sits in extreme-greed territory, four points above the prior reading. Historically, prints above 90 have preceded either a continuation leg or a fast reset within a week; the score itself doesn't tell you which.

Why is ETH's sentiment score higher than BTC's when BTC has more coverage?

BTC's 43 tracked stories include five bearish reads, which pull the composite to 88. ETH's six stories are all bullish with an average importance of 6.17, so the score maxes out at 100. Higher coverage means more chances for a bearish story to appear, which is why BTC rarely prints a perfect 100 in normal conditions.

Is the AI-infrastructure trade actually connected to crypto?

Directly, through miners like MARA repurposing capacity for AI data centers. Indirectly, through the narrative that GPU-adjacent capex tightens supply for hashrate expansion and reroutes public-market flows toward compute-linked issuers. Cryptomat treats the connection as reflexive rather than fundamental.

What would invalidate the bullish setup?

A market pulse print below 75 within three sessions, an ETH sentiment score falling under BTC's on the next daily read, or a sustained flip in Hyperliquid volume share back toward crypto perps at the expense of tokenized real-world assets.

Ether traders drove Cryptomat's sentiment gauge to a perfect 100 over the past 24 hours, with all six ETH-tagged stories in our classified feed reading bullish and an average importance of 6.2, the highest of any large-cap. Bitcoin sat one tier below at 88, dragged marginally by five bearish takes out of 43, while the broader market pulse ticked up four points to 91, deep in extreme-greed territory. The setup is unusual: crypto-native sentiment is at cycle highs while every other headline in the top-20 classified news is about AI infrastructure, not tokens.

Market overview

The tape is running hot. Cryptomat's market pulse score closed the 24-hour window at 91, up from 87, and 95.2% of the 146 classified stories in the feed read bullish. Only 4.8% read bearish. Zero neutral. That distribution is what a mid-cycle euphoria window looks like on our internal gauge, not a normal Friday.

The composition matters more than the headline number. Of the 20 most important stories in the last 24 hours, more than half are about AI infrastructure spending rather than crypto assets. Nvidia and SK Group announced a $500B AI data-center initiative, per CryptoBriefing. Hyundai's Euisun Chung met Jensen Huang to launch a $6.2B Physical AI Alliance. MARA CEO Fred Thiel told the same outlet that AI data centers now generate more revenue per unit of electricity than bitcoin mining, and paired the comment with a Starwood Capital partnership.

That's the reflexivity trade in one paragraph. Crypto miners are getting rerated as AI-adjacent compute plays, and the flow into large-cap crypto is riding on the same narrative that's lifting NVDA and its supply chain.

BTC & ETH

Bitcoin's sentiment score sits at 88, built off 43 tracked stories, 38 bullish and five bearish, with an average importance of 5.8. That's the widest coverage of any asset in the feed by a factor of four. BTC's CryptoBeast composite comes in at 65, labeled bullish, with the biggest positive contribution from sentiment (30.8 of a possible 35) and the lightest from news volume, which is capped at 55 despite the story count. On-chain reads a middling 55.
