Overview

Cryptexa is an advanced market intelligence dashboard designed to separate genuine crypto market momentum from artificial social media hype. It uses an algorithmic Reality Score to warn traders about imminent pump-and-dump schemes, tracks hidden gems, and simulates market conditions.

This repository features a modular full-stack architecture, cleanly separating the vanilla JavaScript frontend from the Python data pipeline backend.

Key Features

• Real-time Intelligence Matrix: Tracks 18 leading assets with live price feeds via the CoinGecko API.
• Reality Score Engine: Computes a unique metric based on the divergence between Price Strength and Social Hype Intensity.
• Manipulation Lab: Features a 'What-If Simulator' allowing users to adjust volume, whale activity, and hype to model outcomes.
• Historical Time Travel: Analyzes past market anomalies (e.g., 2021 Bull Run, 2022 Terra Crash) to validate trading models.
• Trading Tools: Includes an integrated RSI Calculator, Risk/Reward position sizer, and side-by-side coin comparison mode.
• Premium UI/UX: A sleek, fully responsive dark-mode interface featuring glassmorphism, micro-animations, and Chart.js data visualizations.

🏗️ Architecture & Project Structure

The project has been refactored into a scalable, production-ready structure:

🛠️ Installation & Setup

1. Frontend Setup

1. Navigate to the frontend/ directory.
2. Duplicate env.example.js and rename it to env.js.
3. Fill in your CoinGecko API key and Firebase configuration inside env.js.
4. Serve the frontend/ directory using any local web server (e.g., Live Server or Python HTTP Server):

   python -m http.server 3000

2. Backend Setup

1. Navigate to the backend/ directory.
2. Install the required Python dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Create a .env file based on .env.example and add your Firebase credentials.
4. Place your Firebase service account key inside the backend/ folder (name it firebase_credentials.json).
5. Run the CSV upload script to sync your market data to Firebase:

   cd src/
   python upload_csv.py

🔐 Security & Best Practices

This project adheres to strict security standards:

• Zero Hardcoded Secrets: All API keys and Database URLs have been stripped from the codebase and moved to environment variables (.env and env.js).
• Secure .gitignore: Prevents accidental commits of firebase_credentials.json, .env, and env.js files.
• Modular Architecture: Clean separation of frontend UI state and backend Python services.

Technologies

• Frontend: HTML5, Vanilla CSS3, Vanilla JavaScript (ES6+)
• Libraries: Chart.js (Data Visualization)
• Backend: Python 3, firebase-admin, pandas, python-dotenv
• Database: Firebase Realtime Database
• APIs: CoinGecko V3, Alternative.me (Fear & Greed Index)

Designed and built for traders who want to see past the noise.
