The Echo Index

How much is the market rhyming bullish?

Every week we match the liquid stock and crypto universe against decades of chart history and count where the closest look-alikes went next. This is that count — precedent, not prediction.

This week's spotlight: HYPE’s last 90 sessions most resemble VIRTUALUSD, 2025-03-20 → 2025-06-17. The chart shows that one precedent: over the next 60 sessions it moved -28.6%. Across all 25 closest precedents: 28% resolved up, 72% down, median move -19.5%.

Where the archive disagrees: AMP splits history hardest this week — 47% of its 17 precedents resolved up, 47% down. When history can’t agree, that’s a finding too.

What this number is

Chart Echo indexes hundreds of millions of historical chart windows. Each week we take the last 90 daily closes of every liquid stock and crypto chart in our universe, find each one’s closest historical look-alikes, and read what those precedents actually did next. The Echo Index is the share of charts whose precedents leaned bullish, bearish, or came back split.

What it is not

A forecast. Precedent is a base rate, not a promise — regimes change, and the next case can always be the exception. We publish the split and the disagreements precisely so this stays honest. Method and limitations are documented in Methodology & limits.
