Question 1

What are smart money signals in crypto?

Accepted Answer

Smart money signals track the positioning of large-capital crypto traders (whales) on derivatives exchanges. When whales collectively move in one direction with high confidence, it generates a signal. Swarm Intellect calculates this from the dollar-weighted long/short ratio of 58 tracked wallets.

Question 2

What is whale vs retail divergence?

Accepted Answer

Whale vs retail divergence occurs when large-capital traders (whales) are positioned opposite to retail traders. For example, if Binance long/short ratio shows retail is heavily long but tracked whales are net short, that divergence often precedes price corrections toward the whale direction.

Question 3

How is the Swarm Score calculated?

Accepted Answer

The Swarm Score is a 0-100 composite from four inputs: Whale Bias (35%) — dollar-weighted long/short ratio, Confidence (25%) — cohort alignment, Sentiment (25%) — Fear & Greed Index, and Activity (15%) — recent position volume. It updates every 15 minutes.

Question 4

Is this financial advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Swarm Intellect is an educational and research tool. Smart money signals show where large capital is positioned, not where price will go. All data is informational only. Past signal accuracy does not guarantee future results.
