Trending Score
What it shows
The trending score (Trending on CoinGecko) measures how strongly a coin draws attention: searches and positions on popularity lists.
How to read it
Crowd attention is a context signal: a sudden popularity peak often accompanied local tops, while interest building from a low level indicates early trend phases. Combine with on-chain data and price momentum.
Parameters
- Attention / popularity level
- Measures retail interest: how many people search for and watch the coin.
- Positive reading: Rising attention from a low base: historically an early interest-building phase.
- Negative reading: A parabolic popularity spike: historically a late, euphoric phase of a move.
- Neutral reading: Stable, moderate attention: no extremes on the interest side.
Example
The coin jumps into CoinGecko's top trending on a rising price, which is historically a retail attention spike that sometimes fueled the move but also preceded local tops. Absence from trending means neutral, low search interest.
