Purpose and Audience

This professional-grade n8n workflow automation is designed for crypto traders, investors, and market analysts who need real-time volume change alerts across different market cap segments. Whether you're day trading, swing trading, or conducting market research, this workflow keeps you informed of significant volume movements that often precede major price action.

What It Does

This automated system monitors the top 1,000 cryptocurrencies and sends detailed Discord notifications when significant volume changes are detected. The workflow intelligently segments coins into three market cap tiers:

• Large Cap (>$1B): Alerts on volume changes >5%
• Mid Cap ($100M-$1B): Alerts on volume changes >10%
• Small Cap (<$100M): Alerts on volume changes >20%

Each alert includes comprehensive data: previous vs. current volume, volume change percentage and dollar amount, current price, 24h price change, market cap, volume/market cap ratio, and market cap rank. The system automatically filters out stablecoins and low-volume noise to ensure you only receive actionable alerts.

How It Works

The workflow operates on a 2-hour schedule (fully customizable) and executes the following process:

1. Data Collection: Fetches fresh market data for 1,000 cryptocurrencies from CoinGecko API across 4 paginated requests
2. Volume Analysis: Compares current volume against previously stored data to calculate percentage changes
3. Tier Filtering: Segments coins by market cap and applies appropriate volume change thresholds
4. Alert Generation: Identifies top 20 volume movers per tier and formats rich Discord embeds with detailed metrics
5. Data Management: Automatically deletes old data and stores new baseline data for the next execution cycle
6. Discord Delivery: Sends formatted alerts to your Discord channel with embedded guides explaining how to interpret the signals

The workflow includes built-in intelligence to handle rate limits, batch processing for Discord's 10-embed limit, and comprehensive error handling.
