Get an alert when crypto rises or falls fast
The biggest moves in crypto often happen within minutes. A price alert at a fixed price doesn’t help then: you don’t know in advance which coin will move. What you want is an alert as soon as any coin rises or falls fast.
How do fast-move alerts work?
You set a rule with a percentage and a time window, for example "rises at least 3% within 5 minutes". Cryptoallert follows every coin live and keeps comparing the current price with the price a few minutes ago. When a coin hits your threshold, you’re notified within seconds, with the coin, the rise and the price.
Which settings work well?
It depends on what you’re looking for. A few starting points:
| What you want to see | Rule | What you roughly get |
|---|---|---|
| Real outliers | Rises 5% within 5 minutes | Few alerts, only big moves |
| A coin picking up speed | Rises 3% within 5 minutes | A handful a day, depending on the market |
| Quick spikes | Rises 1.5% within 60 seconds | More alerts, including smaller spikes |
| Sudden drops | Falls 3% within 5 minutes | Useful if you hold coins |
Only coins with enough trading
On coins with little trading, one large order can make the price jump. Cryptoallert therefore only looks at coins with enough trading volume, and you can choose which coins to follow. That means fewer false alarms.
How to set it up
- Create an account at app.cryptoallert.com (free for 7 days).
- In your account, go to "My alert rules" and choose direction (rise, fall or both), percentage and time window.
- Turn on push notifications on your phone or link Telegram.
- Watch the meters in your dashboard to see how close coins are to your threshold.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work for every coin on Bitvavo?
Yes. Cryptoallert follows every euro market on Bitvavo, plus Kraken and Coinbase. Coins with very little trading volume are skipped to avoid false alarms.
How fast do I get the alert?
Within a few seconds after the coin hits your threshold.
Won’t I get too many alerts?
You decide that with the percentage and time window. There’s also a 5-minute cooldown per coin and per rule, so you don’t keep getting the same alert.
Is a fast rise a buy signal?
No. An alert only shows what the market is doing. Prices can fall just as fast. Cryptoallert gives no investment advice.
Not investment advice. Information about Bitvavo, Kraken and Coinbase is based on their own help pages (November 2026); their apps may have changed since.
