# Scanning Market Movers ## Overview Real-time detection and analysis of significant price movements and unusual volume patterns across cryptocurrency markets. This skill identifies top gainers, losers, and volume spikes, ranking them by a composite significance score. **Key Features:** - Scan 1,000+ cryptocurrencies for movers - Configurable thresholds (change %, volume spike, market cap) - Significance scoring for prioritization - Category filtering (DeFi, L2, NFT, etc.) - Multiple output formats (table, JSON, CSV) **Dependency:** This skill uses `tracking-crypto-prices` from `market-price-tracker` plugin for price data infrastructure. ## Prerequisites Install required dependencies: ```bash pip install requests pandas ``` **Dependency Setup:** Ensure `market-price-tracker` plugin is installed with `tracking-crypto-prices` skill configured. ## Instructions ### Step 1: Quick Market Scan Run a default scan for top gainers and losers: ```bash python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py ``` This returns the top 20 gainers and top 20 losers by 24h change with volume confirmation. ### Step 2: Custom Thresholds Scan with specific criteria: ```bash # Only show moves > 10% with volume spike > 3x python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --min-change 10 --volume-spike 3 # Filter by market cap python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --min-cap 100000000 --max-cap 1000000000 ``` ### Step 3: Category Filtering Focus on specific sectors: ```bash # DeFi tokens only python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --category defi # Layer 2 tokens python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --category layer2 # Available: defi, layer2, nft, gaming, meme ``` ### Step 4: Different Timeframes Scan across timeframes: ```bash # 1-hour movers python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --timeframe 1h # 7-day movers python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --timeframe 7d ``` ### Step 5: Export Results Save results for analysis: ```bash # JSON export python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --format json --output movers.json # CSV export python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --format csv --output movers.csv ``` ## Output ### Default Table Output ``` ================================================================================ MARKET MOVERS Updated: 2025-01-14 15:30:00 ================================================================================ TOP GAINERS (24h) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rank Symbol Price Change Vol Ratio Market Cap Score -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 XYZ $1.234 +45.67% 5.2x $123.4M 89.3 2 ABC $0.567 +32.10% 3.8x $45.6M 76.5 3 DEF $2.890 +28.45% 2.9x $234.5M 71.2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP LOSERS (24h) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rank Symbol Price Change Vol Ratio Market Cap Score -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 GHI $3.456 -28.90% 4.1x $89.1M 72.1 2 JKL $0.123 -22.34% 2.5x $12.3M 58.9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary: 42 movers found | Scanned: 1000 assets ================================================================================ ``` ### JSON Output (--format json) ```json { "gainers": [ { "rank": 1, "symbol": "XYZ", "name": "Example Token", "price": 1.234, "change_24h": 45.67, "volume_ratio": 5.2, "market_cap": 123400000, "significance_score": 89.3, "category": "defi" } ], "losers": [...], "meta": { "scan_time": "2025-01-14T15:30:00Z", "thresholds": { "min_change": 5, "volume_spike": 2, "min_market_cap": 10000000 }, "total_scanned": 1000, "matches": 42 } } ``` ### Significance Score The significance score (0-100) combines: - **Change %** (40%): Larger moves score higher - **Volume Ratio** (40%): Higher volume confirmation scores higher - **Market Cap** (20%): Larger caps score slightly higher Higher scores indicate more significant, higher-conviction moves. ## Configuration Edit `{baseDir}/config/settings.yaml`: ```yaml # Default Thresholds thresholds: min_change: 5 # Minimum % change to include volume_spike: 2 # Minimum volume ratio (current/avg) min_market_cap: 10000000 # $10M minimum max_market_cap: null # No maximum by default # Scoring Weights scoring: change_weight: 0.40 volume_weight: 0.40 cap_weight: 0.20 # Display display: top_n: 20 # Number of results per category sort_by: significance # significance, change, volume, market_cap # Categories (CoinGecko category IDs) categories: defi: - decentralized-finance-defi - yield-farming layer2: - layer-2 - polygon-ecosystem - arbitrum-ecosystem nft: - non-fungible-tokens-nft gaming: - gaming meme: - meme-token ``` ### Named Presets Create presets in `{baseDir}/config/presets/`: **aggressive.yaml:** ```yaml min_change: 3 volume_spike: 1.5 min_market_cap: 1000000 top_n: 50 ``` **conservative.yaml:** ```yaml min_change: 10 volume_spike: 3 min_market_cap: 100000000 top_n: 10 ``` Use with: ```bash python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --preset aggressive ``` ## Error Handling See `{baseDir}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling. ### Common Errors | 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 | ## Examples See `{baseDir}/references/examples.md` for detailed usage examples. ### Example 1: Daily Scan ```bash python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --timeframe 24h --top 20 ``` ### Example 2: Volume Spike Hunt ```bash python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --volume-spike 5 --min-volume 1000000 ``` ### Example 3: DeFi Movers Export ```bash python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --category defi --format csv --output defi_movers.csv ``` ### Example 4: High-Cap Gainers ```bash python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --min-cap 1000000000 --gainers-only --top 10 ``` ## Integration with Other Skills This skill can be combined with other crypto skills: **With crypto-signal-generator:** ```bash # Get movers, then generate signals for top gainers python {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py --format json | \ python ../crypto-signal-generator/.../scanner.py --from-stdin ``` **With arbitrage-opportunity-finder:** Volume spikes often precede arbitrage opportunities. Use movers as input for arbitrage scanning. ## Files | File | Purpose | |------|---------| | `scripts/scanner.py` | Main CLI entry point | | `scripts/analyzer.py` | Core analysis logic | | `scripts/filters.py` | Threshold filtering | | `scripts/scorers.py` | Significance scoring | | `scripts/formatters.py` | Output formatting | | `config/settings.yaml` | User configuration | | `config/presets/` | Named preset configurations | ## Resources - PRD.md - Product requirements - ARD.md - Architecture documentation - Depends on: tracking-crypto-prices skill - CoinGecko API documentation: https://www.coingecko.com/en/api
