Why build a composite score
No single indicator can summarize Ethereum cleanly. The Vitality Score exists to combine several important readings into one easier-to-scan measure of market condition.
What goes into it
The score blends information from:
- trend state,
- momentum alignment,
- drawdown pressure,
- realized volatility, and
- participation.
What it should tell you
A high score suggests the market is acting with constructive internal structure. A low score suggests the market is fragile, stressed, or lacking confirmation.
What it should not do
The Vitality Score is not a price target and it is not a magic timing signal. It is a context tool that helps summarize whether the market is getting healthier or weaker.
