Independent financial research boutique Fundstrat Global Advisors has launched a new weekly report called “Benchmark Crypto Performance”, which details the performance contribution of sector/size indices, including relative performance and correlations. The report, which comes out on Mondays, includes a very interesting section called “State of Tokens” that ranks 50 of the most popular cryptocurrencies using technical analysis indicators, such as weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI).

The new report is compiled by Ken Xuan, one of Fundstrat’s quantitative analysts, who announced the news on Tuesday via Twitter:

The purpose of this report is to provide a weekly performance analysis of benchmark cryptocurrency indices, but for the purpose of this article, the most interesting section is called “State of Tokens”.

The overall ranking (the “Composite Technical Score”) is based on the following technical analysis indicators:

90 Day Win-Loss Ratio

90 Day UpVolume (UV) – Down Volume (DV)

Relative Price to 21 Day Moving Average (DMA)

Relative Price to 50 Day Moving Average (DMA)

Weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI)

5 Day Return

10 Day Return

30 Day Return

21 vs. 50 Day Moving Day Average (DMA)

For the week ended on 11 June 2018, here are the rankings for the ten largest (according to CryptoCompare) cryptocurrencies:

Bitcoin (BTC): 10th place

Ethereum (ETH): 13th place

Ripple (XRP): 4th Place

Bitcoin Cash (BCH): 11th place

The top ranked token was Binance Coin (BNB) and the lowest ranked token was Stratis (STRAT).

Interestingly enough, on the same day that this report was released, the CEO of crypto exchange Binance, Changpeng Zhao (“CZ”), sent out the following two tweets to boast about the performance of the BNB token during the current bear market:
