The biggest tiles are the coins drawing the most search and exchange interest across 26 national lists — not the biggest coins. A large red tile is the combination worth noticing: heavy attention while the price falls.

32 of these 40 are up over the last 24 hours. This map is the backdrop: when the whole grid is red, a green tile on the trending map above is moving against the market, not with it. Stablecoins and wrapped tokens are left out.

Country map — 26 markets

Filled squares have a national trending list · colour = highest hype risk in that market

Every filled square is its own daily list. 17 of them currently have at least one coin scoring above 60 on hype risk. Greyed-out squares are markets our source stopped publishing a list for; they fill in again on their own if it returns. Full country index →

The archive tracks what happened after each of 166 trending entries; the 1-day window is the furthest one measured so far and is still too thin to average.

How today's list reads

119 coins appear in at least one trending source today, of which 12 are confirmed by two or more independent sources. 9 of them were not on yesterday's list. The median coin on the list moved +4.7% in the last 24 hours, and the average hype-risk score across the whole list is 37 out of 100.

Of the coins with enough price history for a technical reading, 43 currently carry a buy or strong-buy signal and 8 a sell signal — a reminder that appearing on a trending list says nothing by itself about direction. 17 coins score above 60 on hype risk, meaning small market value, heavy turnover and a very recent arrival on the list all coincide. Those entries are flagged in orange throughout the site.

Why Succinct is trending

Generated from today's data

Succinct appears on the global trending list today, a new name compared with yesterday. Price action reads +7.8% in 24 hours, +3.3% over seven days. Daily volume of $37.7M against a $38.3M market cap means 98% of its value changed hands, an unusually high turnover. The daily signal reads strong buy, with 80 out of 100 bullish conditions met. On the risk side the coin scores 52/100 (medium), with volume to market cap weighing heaviest. CoinMarketCap is the only source behind this entry.

Over 30 days the price is +27.0%. Rank 551 by market value places it well outside the top 500. It trades +15.5% above the 50-day mean. 28 days into a upward trend phase, by the Supertrend reading. Over that 90-day window it trades +6.0% below the peak and +35.8% above the trough.

A positive chart after a sharp rise: the risk here is timing rather than direction.

Questions about trending crypto

What does "trending" mean on this site?

A coin is trending when it appears in the trending feeds of CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap or Binance, or in one of the national lists those sources publish. It measures how many people are looking the coin up, not whether the price is going up.

Which cryptocurrency is trending today?

Today the combined score puts Zcash (ZEC) first with 98 points out of 100, ahead of NEAR Protocol and Uniswap. The ranking is rebuilt every day at 00:35 UTC from three independent sources.

Does a trending coin mean it is a good buy?

No, and the data on this page is arranged to show why. Of the coins on today's list 43 carry a buy signal on daily closes and 8 carry a sell signal, while 17 score above 60 on hype risk. Trending tells you where attention is, nothing else.

How do I read the heatmaps?

On the trending map, tile size is the trend score, so the biggest tile is the coin drawing the most attention. On the whole-market map, tile size is market capitalisation. In both, colour is the 24-hour price change: green up, red down. A large red tile means heavy interest in a falling price.

Do the buy and sell labels actually work?

We checked, and the honest answer is no — not measurably. Re-running the same ten checks over 4.4 years and 17,948 scored days, a buy label was followed by a 30-day median move no better than a random day in the same sample. The full backtest is published on the signal accuracy page. The labels are a summary of what the indicators say today, not a forecast.

Which countries are covered?

All 26 markets where our source publishes a national trending list, each with its own daily page. Squares on the country map that stay grey are markets the source has stopped publishing; they fill back in on their own if the list returns.
