Price Spike Alerts
Catch pumps and dumps before the crowd
The Splash service monitors abnormal price movements across every exchange CryptoGrind tracks. When a token suddenly moves beyond a configured threshold within a given time window, you get an instant alert, whether it's a pump or a dump.
Comment Ça Marche
How Price Spike Alerts Works
Splash analyzes real-time trade streams from all connected exchanges. It tracks rolling price windows at multiple intervals and detects when the percentage change exceeds your configured sensitivity. A 7% spike on SOL/USDT within 5 minutes on Binance futures? Alert. A 12% dump on a micro-cap on MEXC spot within 3 minutes? Alert. Each notification includes the exchange, market type, percentage change, time window, start price, and current price.
Technical Detail
The detection engine uses sliding time windows rather than fixed intervals. This means a spike that starts at minute 2:30 and ends at minute 7:30 is still caught, even if no single 5-minute candle shows the full move. Multiple detector versions run in parallel, each tuned for different volatility regimes. Short windows (1-5 min) catch flash moves. Longer windows (15-60 min) detect sustained momentum shifts.
Features
What's Included
Pump & Dump Classification
Every alert is tagged as pump (upward) or dump (downward). Filter for only the direction you care about.
Multi-Window Detection
Short-term (1-5 min) and long-term (15-60 min) windows run simultaneously. Catch flash spikes and sustained moves.
Per-Exchange Sensitivity
Set different thresholds per exchange. A 5% move on Binance is significant. A 5% move on a low-cap MEXC pair is noise.
Volume Anomaly Context
Alerts include volume context so you can distinguish organic moves from thin-market noise.
Use Cases
How Traders Use This
Momentum Trading
Get alerted on the first leg of a move and ride the continuation. Works best on high-volume pairs where the initial spike signals genuine demand.
Mean Reversion
Spike alerts also signal overextension. A 15% pump in 3 minutes often reverts 30-50% of the move. Short the spike, cover on the reversion.
News Front-Running
Major news often hits price before it hits your feed. A sudden 8% move on ETH across all exchanges simultaneously signals a market event. CryptoGrind gets you the signal in under 5ms.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Price Spike Alerts.
Exchange price alerts trigger on fixed price levels ("alert me when BTC hits $100K"). Splash detects percentage-based anomalies across time windows ("alert me when any token moves 7%+ in 5 minutes on any exchange"). It's monitoring the entire market, not a single asset.
Yes. CryptoGrind monitors AMM pools on Ethereum, BSC, Solana, and Base. DEX spikes are often the most dramatic because pool liquidity is thinner.
The global minimum threshold (default 7%) and per-exchange sensitivity controls prevent alert fatigue. You can also blacklist tokens that are known to be volatile noise.
