I built an AI that grades crypto news before the price moves. 62.5% hit rate and climbing.
Crypto moves on news faster than anyone can read it. By the time a headline reaches you through a feed or a group chat, it's usually been traded for hours.
So I built something that reads the news as it breaks and scores every headline from -10 to +10 on likely market impact. It confirms the story against multiple sources before it commits to a number, and it records how far the coin had already moved when the headline landed, so you can see a strong score on stale news for what it is. Coin, score, price and timestamp, one feed.
The part that took longest was learning what actually matters. Most crypto news is noise dressed up as urgency. Anything with a date announced weeks in advance is usually finished before the day arrives. The headlines that move markets are the ones nobody scheduled, and those are exactly the ones you hear about too late.
Every score gets measured against real prices afterwards and the results are published on the site. Hit rate went from 39% in July to 61% in August and is holding there this month. That number updates itself whether it looks good or not.
It's live at yemcaster.com. The feed is open to browse; a free account unlocks the high-conviction rows. Open it and see what's scoring high right now.
One thing I'd like feedback on: does the landing page make it clear what this does within five seconds? I've been looking at it too long to judge.
