Momentum Scanner
Find Stocks Before They Run
What if you could see exactly which assets are building momentum right now? Not what ran last week. Not what's trending on Twitter. What's actually setting up for its next move. That's what we built.
The Impossible Task of Manual Scanning
Manually scanning 9,000+ tradeable assets each day is physically impossible for any individual trader. Even spending 30 seconds per chart, a full scan would take over 75 hours -- more than three full days of nonstop work. Most traders settle for watching 20-50 familiar names, which means over 99% of the market goes unmonitored.
There are thousands of tradeable assets. Each one has a chart. A news cycle. Social sentiment. Earnings. Sector dynamics. Technical patterns. No human can meaningfully track all of them.
So traders settle. They watch a small watchlist of familiar names. They rely on tips from others who are watching different small lists. They hope the best opportunities somehow find their way to them.
But the best opportunities are often in assets nobody's talking about. The stock nobody knows until it's up 80%. The crypto that breaks out while everyone's focused on something else. These opportunities exist. You're just not seeing them.
Until now.
How Banana Farmer Finds What's About to Move
Banana Farmer combines three independent data streams -- technical momentum indicators, social sentiment analysis, and composite pattern recognition -- into a single 0-100 Ripeness Score for each of 9,000+ assets. This multi-factor approach surfaces setups where price action, volume, and rising interest converge, which historically precede significant moves more reliably than any single indicator alone.
We continuously scan 9,000+ assets across stocks and crypto, combining three powerful data streams into a single actionable score.
Technical Momentum Analysis
Our algorithms analyze price action, volume patterns, and momentum indicators in real-time. We're looking for specific patterns that precede significant moves:
Coiling Patterns
Price compression with declining volatility often precedes explosive moves. We detect these patterns across multiple timeframes.
Volume Accumulation
Rising volume during consolidation signals institutional interest before the breakout becomes obvious.
Momentum Divergence
When momentum indicators strengthen while price consolidates, it often signals an impending move.
Support/Resistance Proximity
Assets near key technical levels with building momentum are prime candidates for breakout moves.
Social Sentiment Intelligence
We analyze social data from X (Twitter), Reddit, and news sources to detect rising interest BEFORE it becomes mainstream awareness:
Early Mention Detection
We track when mentions of an asset start increasing, often days before the topic trends.
Sentiment Shift Analysis
Not just volume of mentions but the tone. Shifting from neutral to bullish often precedes price action.
Influencer Activity
When key accounts start discussing an asset, it often signals positioning before broader awareness.
News Catalyst Tracking
We monitor for catalysts that could trigger moves: earnings, product launches, regulatory updates.
Composite Scoring & Ranking
We combine all signals into a single 0-100 "Ripeness Score" that tells you exactly how ready an asset is to move:
Strong confluence across all signals
Good setup with positive factors
Mixed signals, needs monitoring
Unfavorable conditions currently
Momentum Badges: Know Where You Are in the Cycle
Every scored asset receives one of four momentum badges that map to a distinct phase of the price cycle. Ripening indicates early momentum building with favorable risk/reward, Ripe signals confirmed momentum where entries require tighter timing, Overripe warns that a move is extended and new entries carry elevated downside risk, and Rotten marks a confirmed downtrend to avoid entirely.
The score tells you setup strength. The badge tells you timing. Together, they give you complete clarity on any opportunity.
Early Momentum Building
This is the sweet spot. Momentum is building but the move hasn't fully started. Technical patterns are coiling. Social interest is rising but not yet mainstream. Entry here offers the best risk/reward ratio.
Action: Prime opportunity for early positioning
Confirmed Momentum
The move is underway. Momentum is confirmed. There may still be good entries on pullbacks or breakout retests, but the early-bird advantage is gone. More precise timing required.
Action: Consider entry on pullbacks with tighter risk
Extended Move
This asset has already made a significant move. The easy money has been made. New entries here carry elevated risk of buying near a local top. Chase danger zone.
Action: Avoid new entries. Consider profit-taking if holding.
Downtrend Active
Momentum has broken down. This asset is in a confirmed downtrend. What looks like a "discount" is often a falling knife. Stay away until the badge changes.
Action: Avoid. Do not try to catch the falling knife.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do you find stocks before they run?
- We combine three data streams: technical momentum indicators (price action, volume, pattern recognition), social sentiment analysis (X, Reddit, news), and historical pattern matching. Assets scoring high across all dimensions with "Ripening" status have the highest probability of near-term moves.
- Can you really predict stock movements?
- We don't predict—we identify probability. Not every "Ripening" asset will run, but systematically, assets with strong technical setups AND rising social interest outperform random selection. It's about finding favorable risk/reward setups, not certainty.
- How is this different from other stock screeners?
- Most screeners are backward-looking—they show what already happened. Banana Farmer is forward-looking. Our scoring prioritizes assets BUILDING momentum (coiling patterns, rising interest) rather than assets that have already moved.
- What types of assets does Banana Farmer scan?
- We scan 9,000+ assets including US stocks (NYSE, NASDAQ, OTC), and major cryptocurrencies. Every asset gets the same scoring methodology: 0-100 composite score plus momentum badge (Ripe, Ripening, Overripe, Rotten).
- How often are the scores updated?
- Scores refresh daily after market close for stocks, filtering out intraday noise for cleaner, more reliable signals. Crypto scores update around the clock. This ensures you're always seeing current conditions based on complete daily data.
- Do I need technical analysis experience to use this?
- No. Banana Farmer does the analysis for you. The 0-100 score tells you setup strength. The badge tells you cycle position. The AI summary explains what's happening in plain English. No chart reading required.
