Note: "IP Blocked" requires the use of a VPN to change location. CryptoSwing tracks and graphs volatility analytics of cryptocurrency trading pairs, which is then sorted and filtered by differing conditions based on user preferences, which include varied time periods, market cap, volume 24hrs, and more. In addition, CryptoSwing also allows you to lock-in prices to track gain/loss percentages, for any trading pair, as prices update. The data is obtained from Binance, a well known and frequently utilized global cryptocurrency exchange. No sign-in required. Using the concept of Bollinger Bands and Simple Moving Average (SMA), CryptoSwing displays historical and current technical analysis of more than 800 trading pairs. As Binance adds new trading pairs, the app automatically includes them. Note: Binance does occasionally undergo maintenance, and during that time, pricing information will not be available to the app. All Access subscription is available to unlock all trading pairs, increase the timespan analyzed, and allow exporting of all stored pricing information. Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. All Access Subscription is $1.99 per month (price may vary by location).
