Send Altcoin Movers to Telegram

What It Does

This workflow monitors the altcoin market every 4 hours and sends a structured Telegram alert with the top 5 gainers and top 3 losers by 24-hour percentage change, current prices, total crypto market cap, altcoin season index, and one major news story from the last 4 hours — all in a single plain-text message.

Why It Matters

Bitcoin and Ethereum get all the headlines. Altcoin moves happen quietly — a Layer 2 token up 40% overnight, a meme coin crashing after an exploit, a new listing pumping on volume. Most traders catch these moves too late because they're watching the wrong feeds.

Without a consolidated altcoin movers view delivered on a regular cadence, you either miss the entry or react to yesterday's news. This workflow puts the top movers in your Telegram six times a day, automatically.

How It Works

1. Scheduled Trigger — Fires every 4 hours around the clock.
2. AI Agent — Searches the internet for the top 5 altcoin gainers and top 3 losers by 24-hour percentage change, total market cap, altcoin season index, and one major altcoin news item from the last 4 hours.
3. Telegram Message — Sends the formatted plain-text alert directly to your Telegram chat.

What You Get

Each alert includes the following data points in a single message:

All delivered 6 times per day with zero manual effort.

Who It's For

• Altcoin traders who track momentum and rotation across small and mid-cap tokens
• DeFi investors monitoring Layer 1 and Layer 2 ecosystem performance
• Crypto portfolio holders who want early signals on unusual price moves
• Anyone who wants altcoin context delivered without being glued to a price app

Setup

1. Connect Telegram — Enter your bot token and set your chat ID.
2. Submit the workflow — It will begin running on its 4-hour schedule.
3. Receive your first alert — Your first altcoin movers message will arrive within the next 4 hours.

Customize It

• Pin specific tokens — Add tokens like MATIC, ARB, or OP to the AI agent prompt so they always appear regardless of ranking.
• Expand the losers list — Change from 3 to 5 losers in the prompt for a fuller picture.
• Narrow by sector — Focus the search on a specific category, such as only DeFi tokens or only gaming tokens.

Timezone Note

The 4-hour trigger runs in UTC. The workflow fires at midnight, 4 AM, 8 AM, noon, 4 PM, and 8 PM UTC every day. Adjust your expectations based on your local time zone.
