Send Altcoin Movers to Telegram
Every 4 hours, searches the internet for top altcoin gainers and losers by 24h change, market cap, altcoin season index, and news — then sends a summary 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
- Scheduled Trigger — Fires every 4 hours around the clock.
- 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.
- 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:
| Section | Details |
|---|---|
| Top 5 Gainers | Symbol, current price, and 24h percentage change |
| Top 3 Losers | Symbol, current price, and 24h percentage change |
| Market Overview | Total crypto market cap and altcoin season index |
| News Headline | One story from the last 4 hours — new listing, exploit, partnership, or protocol upgrade |
| Hot Take | One-line summary of what's driving altcoin movement |
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

Setup

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.
