The 24-hour price change is the most intuitive indicator for assessing a cryptocurrency's short-term performance. Checking price change data on Binance is very convenient — whether you want to see individual tokens or the overall market's top gainers and losers, everything is available at a glance. Learning to read this data helps you stay on top of market dynamics. Sign up on Binance and open the Markets page to get started.
Viewing Price Changes on the Binance App
Markets Home Page
Open the Binance app and tap the "Markets" button at the bottom. You'll see a list of tokens, each showing the current price and 24-hour price change percentage on the right:
- Green numbers: Indicate a price increase over 24 hours, e.g., +5.23%
- Red numbers: Indicate a price decrease over 24 hours, e.g., -3.17%
This list defaults to your watchlist tokens. You can switch between different category tabs at the top, such as "Hot," "New Listings," "Top Gainers," "Top Losers," etc.
Top Gainers Chart
To see which tokens have risen the most, switch to the "Top Gainers" tab. This ranks all tokens by 24-hour price change from highest to lowest, instantly revealing current market hotspots.
Similarly, switching to "Top Losers" shows the tokens that have dropped the most.
Individual Token Detail Page
Tap any token to enter its detail page, which displays more comprehensive data:
- 24-hour price change percentage
- 24-hour high and low prices
- 24-hour trading volume
- 24-hour turnover
- Candlestick chart (supports multiple timeframes)
Combining this data helps you assess the token's daily activity level and price trend.

How to Use Price Change Data
Spot Market Trends
If multiple tokens in the same sector are surging simultaneously, that sector may be emerging as a market hotspot. For example, if several AI-themed tokens are all rising, the market is likely trending toward AI narratives.
Gauge Market Sentiment
If the top gainers show large gains while the top losers show relatively small declines, overall market sentiment is bullish. The opposite signals bearish sentiment.
Avoid Chasing Pumps and Panic Selling
When you see a token up 50% or more in 24 hours, it's tempting to jump in. But experience shows that sharp short-term gains are often followed by pullbacks. Stay rational and don't buy blindly just because of big gains.
Find Oversold Bounce Opportunities
Look for fundamentally strong tokens that have experienced sharp short-term drops in the losers list — they may present rebound opportunities. However, this requires a solid understanding of the project's fundamentals.
Customize Your Market Dashboard
Add to Watchlist
On the Markets page, you can add tokens to your watchlist:
- Search or browse to find the token you want to follow
- Tap the star icon next to the token
- The token will appear in your watchlist
A watchlist lets you monitor your selected tokens without scrolling through hundreds of listings.
Set Alerts
Using the price alert feature, you can receive notifications when a token's price change reaches a specific percentage. For example, set an alert for when BTC drops more than 5% to catch buying opportunities.

FAQ
How is the 24-hour price change calculated?
Binance calculates the 24-hour price change on a rolling basis — it looks back exactly 24 hours from the current moment, not based on calendar days.
Why do different platforms show different price changes?
Prices vary slightly across platforms, and the 24-hour starting points may differ, so the displayed price changes can have minor discrepancies. This is perfectly normal.
How can I view a token's historical price changes?
On the token detail page, switch the candlestick chart's timeframe to view historical performance. Each daily candle represents one day's price movement.
Is the price change data updated in real time?
Yes, the price change data on the Binance App is updated in real time.
Safety Tips
- Don't blindly chase tokens on the top gainers list — sharp gains can be followed by sharp drops
- Price changes are reference data only and should not be your sole basis for trading decisions
- Be cautious of abnormal gains in low-market-cap tokens, which may be subject to manipulation
- Analyze trading volume alongside price changes — gains on low volume may be false signals
- Maintain a rational investment mindset and don't let short-term fluctuations cloud your long-term judgment
