Decred (DCR) Signals

Alpha Factory tracks Decred (DCR) through its proprietary Risk Wave indicator, which measures how far DCR's price has deviated from its long-term trend. When combined with the Altcoin Rules framework — a composite score of 8 weighted market indicators — this produces actionable signals for when to accumulate, hold, or take profits on DCR.

The Risk Wave score for DCR ranges from 0 to 100 and updates throughout the day. Scores below 30 have historically corresponded with strong buying opportunities, while scores above 70 signal elevated risk.
