Three blockchain and cryptocurrency-linked exchange-traded funds have surged into the market's top decile as momentum scores spiked sharply this week, suggesting these funds may be on the cusp of a breakout rally.

What Does Momentum Ranking Entail?

Benzinga Edge’s Stock Rankings‘ momentum percentile rankings assess a stock or ETF's relative strength by evaluating its price movement patterns and volatility across multiple timeframes, benchmarked against the entire universe of sector peers.

The percentile value signals how far above or below the median an asset's recent performance lies, with dramatic increases flagging a strong surge in market attention and potential.
