Crypto percentage alerts — X% in your window.
Set a threshold and a time window — 5% in 15 minutes, 8% in 4 hours — and CoinBeacon pings you the moment any of 6,000+ coins on 50+ exchanges makes that move. Delivered to email, Telegram, Discord, or your webhook in seconds.

Catch the move while it's still moving.
Want to know when a coin makes a big move fast? Set a percentage and a time — like 5% in 15 minutes — and CoinBeacon alerts you the moment it happens.
- Armed from your price. The move is measured from the live price at the moment you save — no level to work out, the window is the deadline.
- One alert, one answer. It completes the moment the move happens — and if the window passes quietly, it tells you that instead of leaving you guessing.
- Jumps or drops. Works for gains or losses, from a few minutes up to a full day.

From threshold to notification
How to set an alert when a coin drops 10% — or moves any X% you choose.
- 01Pick the coinSearch any of 6,000+ tracked coins across 50+ exchanges — the majors you hold or the microcaps you're stalking. Percentage alerts need no chart and no level, just a ticker.
- 02Set the percentage and directionType the threshold — 3%, 5%, 10%, whatever your line is. Down catches dips and crashes on coins you hold; up catches breakouts and squeezes on coins you're waiting to enter.
- 03Choose the time windowDecide how fast the move has to happen — a few minutes for momentum, up to 24 hours for a slower slide. The move is measured from the live price at the moment you arm the alert.
- 04Save it and get a definite answerThe alert is one-shot: it fires the instant the move completes — email, Telegram, Discord, or webhook — and if the window closes without it, you're told that too. Armed alerts always resolve.
Four ways traders aim them
Crypto percentage alerts for dips, breakouts, and the sessions you can't babysit.
Crash protection on the coins you hold
A down-10%-in-24-hours alert on each bag means you hear about a dump while it's happening, not at the next portfolio check. When you also have an exact invalidation number, put a price alert on that level and let the two cover each other.
Breakout confirmation, not breakout hope
Up 5% in 15 minutes is a move with force behind it; up 5% in a week is drift. The window turns a vague "is it going?" into a testable condition — and if you want the same check running continuously instead of once, momentum alerts are the recurring version.
Volatile markets without the chart-staring
When everything is moving, arm thresholds on your shortlist and close the tabs — the watching happens server-side across 50+ exchanges. For spikes on coins you aren't tracking at all, the pump and dump alerts scan the whole market for you.
News, unlocks, and scheduled catalysts
Token unlocks, listings, macro prints — you know when the catalyst lands, not which way price resolves. Arm a percentage alert in each direction over the event window and the first decisive move pings you; if nothing happens, the expiry notice tells you that too.
Percentage alerts — common questions
- What is a crypto percentage alert?
- An alert that fires when a coin moves by a set percentage within a set time window — for example, BTC up 5% in 15 minutes. CoinBeacon evaluates the condition continuously across 6,000+ coins on 50+ exchanges and delivers to email, Telegram, Discord, or a webhook, typically within seconds.
- How do I get an alert when Bitcoin drops 5%?
- Create a percentage alert, pick BTC, set the threshold to 5% in the down direction, and choose a time window. The drop is measured from the live price at the moment you save, so there is no level to calculate. The same setup watches rises: pick the up direction to catch a 5% pop instead.
- What happens if the time window passes without the move?
- The alert expires and tells you so. A percentage alert is one-shot by design: it completes when the move happens, and if the window runs out first you get an expiry notification instead — including how far the coin actually moved — so an armed alert always resolves to an answer, never silence.
- Should I use a percentage alert or a price alert?
- Use a percentage alert when you care about the size and speed of a move but haven't picked a number — it measures from wherever the coin trades when you arm it. Use a price alert when a specific level matters, like BTC crossing 100,000. Move versus level; many traders run both on the same coin.
- What is the difference between a percentage alert and a momentum alert?
- A percentage alert asks one question — does this coin move X% from here within this window? — and resolves once, by firing or expiring. A momentum alert is a standing watch that keeps re-evaluating rolling windows and can fire again on each new burst. One-shot for a move you're waiting on; recurring for a coin you monitor continuously.
- Will a volatile coin flood me with notifications?
- No. A percentage alert completes the moment it fires — one move, one message. If you want continuous coverage instead, a momentum alert re-arms after each trigger with a cooldown at least as long as its window, so even that never double-fires on a single move.
- Are crypto percentage alerts free?
- Yes. Percentage alerts are part of the free plan alongside all 19 alert types, with 5 active alerts and 10 notifications a day across email, Telegram, Discord, and webhook. No card, no exchange API keys — CoinBeacon reads public market data only.
