4Chan – Posts per Day

Measures the number of daily posts mentioning crypto terms on 4Chan — a niche but historically early indicator of speculative retail activity.

Overview
Since 4Chan communities are often among the earliest to identify high-risk speculative cycles, tracking posting activity offers valuable insight into retail engagement and hype levels.
Sudden increases in posts often precede volatility spikes, driven by speculative attention.
