The exchange rates are one of the major indicators. But there are other important factors as well. A constantly rising exchange rate alone doesn't guarantee the long-term survival of a particular crypto currency. It also depends a lot on the user-base expansion, government recognition, unity within the developer community, acceptability from the vendors.etc.
