Analyst Consensus Index - CryptoQuant API

The Analyst Consensus Index is the daily net sentiment of tracked crypto analysts — one vote per analyst (their latest post), aggregated to a single reading from −100 (all bearish) to +100 (all bullish). It is the sentiment row on the alpha.cryptoquant.com Bitcoin heatmap. The series is available to CryptoQuant Premium plan users through the Alpha Indicator API, with the same API key used for the core Data API.

How to read it

Read contrarian: crowded bullishness (high positive readings) marks top risk, while capitulation in sentiment (deeply negative readings) has marked opportunity. On the heatmap the row is colored sell_high — high = red, low = green.
