Add a token price or market-cap signal
Last updated July 8, 2026
- Go to Catalog.
- Find Token Price / Market Cap and click Subscribe.
- Fill in:
- Chain — Solana, Ethereum, or another supported network
- Token address — Solana mint or EVM
0xcontract. Spoken Ethereum / ETH uses wrapped ETH (WETH) on Ethereum - Symbol (ticker) — the display ticker (e.g. BLOXX, ETH, SOL)
- Level is — Price (USD) or Market cap (USD)
- Threshold (USD) — the level (for example
1875for a price, or10000000for a $10M market cap) - Crosses — above or below
- Click Create subscription.
After you subscribe, you can edit the threshold and direction under Signals; the chain, mint, symbol, and unit stay fixed. Older subscriptions that omitted a unit still fire on USD price.
You will see the real ticker in Messages (for example $BLOXX just crossed… or $ETH just crossed…) and hear a natural pronunciation when one is configured (for example "Blocks just crossed above 10 million market cap — now …" or "Ether just crossed below 1875 dollars — now at …"). History and speech are separate: the UI keeps the symbol; only the audio uses the spoken form.
Messages keeps only the latest fire for each price subscription (threshold or % move) as a single row — not every tick. When a new alert fires, that row updates to the newest one. You can still replay or open Spotlight from it.
Your plan limits how many active price alerts you can keep. Token % Move works the same way for mint + symbol, with a move threshold (%) you can edit later.
How price monitoring works
Token Price / Market Cap and Token % Move share one platform price poll (Birdeye). The worker samples each subscribed mint on a multi-minute interval (default about 5 minutes — admins can tune it under Catalog). That keeps API cost and noise down compared to sub-minute polling.
Token Price / Market Cap
Fires only when the unit you chose crosses your level between the previous sample and the current one:
- Price (USD) — token USD price (for Ethereum/ETH, wrapped ETH / WETH). Example: was above $1,875, now at or below.
- Market cap (USD) — circulating supply × poll price. Example: was below $10M, now at or above. If circulating supply is unknown for a mint, a market-cap alert cannot fire until meta is available.
It does not re-speak every poll while the value stays above or below the line.
Token % Move
The spoken percent is poll-to-poll, not a chart candle or 24-hour change:
- Down / up relative to the price at the previous successful poll for that token (roughly one poll interval ago).
- Your move threshold (for example 1% or 5%) is compared to the absolute size of that jump: if the threshold is 3%, a 3.2% move since the last poll fires; a 1% blip does not.
- Market cap in the phrase is recomputed from circulating supply × the current poll price, so it tracks the latest tick more closely than a TradingView day chart.
Tips for noisy tokens:
- Prefer a higher % threshold (often 3–5%+) if short swings keep triggering you.
- Remember the platform also applies a cooldown between fires for the same signal so you are not re-alerted every single poll.
There is no rolling "last hour high/low" window today — only consecutive poll samples.
How tickers are spoken
Text-to-speech often misreads ALL-CAPS tickers letter-by-letter or with the wrong stress. Announcr fixes that in two layers:
- Built-in dictionary — common tickers (BLOXX, SOL, BTC, …) map to a natural spoken form for audio only.
- Platform listing — admins can set a spoken name on a token listing; that overrides the dictionary for that mint's price alerts and related fires.
You do not type a pronunciation when you subscribe. Message history shows the real ticker (with a dollar-sign prefix when the line was built from a spoken form). The same dictionary also rewrites known ALL-CAPS tickers inside free-text speech (for example X summaries), as whole-word uppercase matches only, so ordinary English words are left alone.
