Top Gainers (24h)
What it shows
The coins with the biggest price gains in the selected time window (24h by default, plus one hour and the shortest window we can honestly compute from our own price history). Shows price, the percentage change in that window and the coin's market cap rank.
How to read it
Treat the list as a momentum scanner, not a shopping list: the biggest gainers are often small, volatile coins that can fall just as fast. Check whether the rise is backed by volume and a sensible narrative. Practical takeaway: when mostly large coins rise it signals broad market strength; when only micro-caps do, it is a speculative, risky move.
Parameters
- Time window
- The switcher above the list: 24h (default), 1h and the shortest supported window (the label shows its real length). The ranking and the percentages are recomputed for the selected window.
- Neutral reading: Short windows are computed from our stored price points against one shared reading moment. A coin without a credible baseline in that window simply does NOT appear on the list, it never fakes a “0.00%”. If the data cannot support the shortest window, its button is not shown at all.
- Rank badge (#37)
- The coin's market cap rank, shown next to the symbol (grid) or the name (list). No rank = no badge.
- Neutral reading: It tells you at a glance whether the move belongs to a top coin or to the far end of the selected range (top 500/200/50), which is the same number shown on the coin's card.
- Change in the window
- The coin's percentage price gain in the selected window (in green): not a rescaled 24h figure.
- Positive reading: A strong gain on high volume: a move with real capital backing.
- Negative reading: A very large jump in a small coin can be a pump prone to a sharp reversal.
- Current price
- The coin's current rate in the selected currency.
- Neutral reading: Price alone is context: click the project to see the full picture.
Example
A small altcoin does +45% in 24h but on negligible volume: a classic speculative spike prone to correction. When the top gainers are large, liquid coins at +6–10%, that signals healthier, broad market strength.
