Scanning Market Movers

Detect significant price movements and unusual volume across crypto markets. Calculates significance scores combining price change, volume ratio, and market cap. Use when tracking market movers, finding gainers/losers, or detecting volume spikes. Trigger with phrases like "scan market movers", "top gainers", "biggest losers", "volume spikes", "what's moving", "find pumps", or "market scan".

Scanning Market Movers

Overview

Real-time detection of significant price movements and unusual volume patterns across 1,000+ cryptocurrencies, ranked by composite significance score.

Prerequisites

Python 3.8+ installed
Dependencies: pip install requests pandas
market-price-tracker plugin installed with tracking-crypto-prices skill configured

Instructions

Run a default scan for top gainers and losers (top 20 each by 24h change with volume confirmation):
```
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py
```

Set custom thresholds for minimum change and volume spike:

python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --min-change 10 --volume-spike 3
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --min-cap 100000000 --max-cap 1000000000  # 100000000 = $100M min cap, 1000000000 = $1B max cap

Filter by category (defi, layer2, nft, gaming, meme):

python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --category defi

Scan different timeframes (1h, 24h, 7d):

python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --timeframe 1h

Export results to JSON or CSV:

python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --format json --output movers.json
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --format csv --output movers.csv

Use named presets for predefined threshold sets:

python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --preset aggressive

Output

Default table shows top gainers and losers ranked by significance score (0-100), combining price change (40%), volume ratio (40%), and market cap (20%):

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
`Dependency not found`	tracking-crypto-prices unavailable	Install market-price-tracker plugin
`No movers found`	Thresholds too strict	Relax thresholds with lower values
`Rate limit exceeded`	Too many API calls	Wait or use cached data
`Partial results`	Some assets unavailable	Normal, proceed with available data

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling.

Examples

Common scanning patterns for different market analysis scenarios:

# Daily scan - top 20 gainers/losers
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --timeframe 24h --top 20

# Volume spike hunt (5x+ volume, $1M+ daily volume)
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --volume-spike 5 --min-volume 1000000  # 1000000 = $1M min volume

# DeFi movers exported to CSV
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --category defi --format csv --output defi_movers.csv

# High-cap gainers only (>$1B market cap)
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --min-cap 1000000000 --gainers-only --top 10  # 1000000000 = $1B cap
