Crypto Rumor Alert Playbook for High-Volatility Days
In crypto, narratives can move price before confirmations arrive. Rumor monitoring is not optional if you care about risk-adjusted response time.
Top Rumor Buckets to Track
- Exchange solvency and withdrawal issues.
- Stablecoin peg stress narratives.
- Regulatory enforcement rumors.
- Major custody or bridge exploit chatter.
Signal Quality Rules
- Require repeated mention across independent sources.
- Prioritize sources with track records over anonymous repost loops.
- Escalate only when rumor and price/volume action align.
Starter Prompt
"Notify me when credible rumors of exchange solvency risk, stablecoin stress, or emergency halts start trending across multiple sources."
Risk discipline
Use rumor alerts to tighten monitoring and hedge planning, not as a standalone trigger for irreversible actions.
Channel Strategy
Use push for early warning and email for post-event review. During volatility, speed is useful only if alerts stay readable.
