This week’s market anomaly report has been shortened for your reading pleasure. The goal is to give you the same information in less words. Let us know if you like the new style. I also added a section at the end explaining the 17 types of anomalies we are currently tracking.

This Week in Brief

This week was led by three things: nonstop negative hyperliquid_avg_funding_rate prints, continued eth_whale_dump activity on ethereum, and a broad social_dominance_spike rotation across altcoins. These 8 anomaly types triggered at least once between 2026-03-27 04:00:00 and 2026-04-02 23:00:00, with 2,992 total observations. Most of the weight came from funding-rate pressure, while most of the breadth came from social rotation.

What Happened

Worth Watching

• hyperliquid_avg_funding_rate, because it stayed active and deeply negative almost the whole week, for a second week.
• ethereum, because eth_whale_dump kept printing, also for a second week in a row.
• bitcoin, because it was the only name that appeared in both project_in_trends and social_price_correlation.
• aave, worldcoin-org, and core-dao, because they stood out most inside social_dominance_spike.

About the Anomalies We Track

1. Network Activity & Price Divergence Anomaly - detects price surges that are not accompanied by a corresponding rise in network activity (real growth). Triggered only if the price growth exceeds 3% on the same day, ensuring the alert is relevant for significant bullish moves.
2. Project in Trends Anomaly - detects when a specific crypto token gains significant traction in online discussions, placing it among the top 10 most-mentioned words in crypto-related conversations.
3. Large USDC-USDT Mint Anomaly - detects daily combined $1 billion or larger minting events of USDC and USDT stablecoins on the Ethereum blockchain.
4. Social Price Correlation Anomaly - detects whether social sentiment and price are behaving in an unusually aligned or unusually decoupled way. The current implementation runs on 1h X.com social data for bitcoin, ethereum, solana, dogecoin, xrp, trx, and cardano.
5. Social Dominance Spike Anomaly - detects abnormal spikes in social dominance metrics. It alerts when values exceed a statistical significance thresholds of 3 standard deviations over 30 days.
6. Social-Dev Score Anomaly - detects unusual activity compared to recent 30-day history of social media metrics and development activity, the score itself is weighted at 60/40 for social and dev activity.
7. Hyperliquid Average Funding Rates Anomaly - detects when rates exceed predefined high/low thresholds of +40% and -20%, measured hourly.
8. ETH Whale Dump Anomaly - detects potential large-scale ETH dumps by monitoring whale wallet behaviors, threshold of 500 ETH and uses a 30-day holding period as a key parameter to distinguish between normal trading activity and potential dump scenarios.
