What VirtualSun is

A market-analysis desk that scores every coin and fund it covers with the same six statistics, and prints the result next to the day’s headlines.

What this site is

VirtualSun is a market-analysis desk. It takes public price history for crypto assets and exchange-traded funds, runs the same six statistical measures over every one of them, and prints the result as a single readable score instead of a wall of numbers. Alongside that it aggregates headlines from established crypto and markets publications so that the number and the narrative sit on one screen.

It exists because the useful part of technical analysis is mechanical. Whether a fund’s 20-day average has crossed its 50-day, whether a coin is sitting at the top of its weekly range, whether today’s volume is unusual for that ticker — these are arithmetic, not opinion, and a computer should be doing them for the whole market at once rather than for the three tickers you happened to think of.

The three desks

The three signal desks — crypto, Solana and ETF — run the identical six-factor engine; the short desk does not, and its numbers are not comparable with theirs. Only the scales differ, because a fund moving twelve percent in a quarter is a significant move, a coin doing the same is an ordinary Tuesday, and a Solana memecoin doing the same has barely woken up. The methodology page sets out every factor, its weight, and all three calibrations — along with why a score on one desk cannot be compared with a score on another.

What it deliberately does not do

The boundary matters more than the feature list, so it is worth stating plainly.

How it is built

Four static desk pages and three small PHP scripts. The PHP does one job: fetch from upstream providers, cache the response on disk for a set interval, and hand back JSON. There is no database, no framework, no build step, and no user data to lose. When a provider is slow or rate-limits the request, the cache serves the last good response rather than showing an empty page.

The scoring runs in your browser, on data anyone can fetch themselves. Nothing about the calculation is hidden — the factor breakdown behind “Why this signal” on any card shows every input, its value, and the points it contributed.

The name

The mark is a corona arc around a halftone core: a sun rendered in dots, the way a screen renders everything. The tagline is Uptime is a strategy. Analysis that is not running when you need it is not analysis, and a data desk that goes dark during the interesting hours has failed at the only job it had.

Corrections

If a number here looks wrong, it may well be. Providers rename tickers, funds close, feeds change their formats, and caches occasionally serve something stale. Reports of specific errors are genuinely useful — the contact page explains what to include.
