This post is about how I use search and community group trends to track cryptocurrency prices.

First i'll start out with cryptometrics http://www.cryptometrics.net

This is the homepage of the site, it tracks the number of people that are talking about or joining groups concerning different cryptocurrency. My favorite method to use this is to search in the last day for the highest gaining alt coin on both reddit and twitter and you can literally see the hype moving before that coin gets pumped. Giving you a heads up on the hot new altcoin of the day and you can ride that wave.
There are many different ways to use this webpage if you've got any ideas, comment them below and we can share ideas.

The second is using google trends

This graph shows the interest in the search for "bitcoin USD"

This second graph is the bitcoin price over the same period.

When more people search "Bitcoin usd" they are worried about their holdings and want to check on it often. Giving you a window into the mindset of people in the market, this lets you see volatility coming before it does! messing around on google trends shows you a lot of very interesting trends, let me know what you find.
