CRYPTO VOLUME SCREENER
What is the Crypto Volume Screener?
The Crypto Volume Screener is a real-time volume scanner and spike tracker covering 600+ cryptocurrencies across every major timeframe. It ranks coins by relative volume (RVOL), measuring how far current trading volume deviates from a coin's own recent average. Volume is measured in USDT so every asset is directly comparable. A separate live feed tracks volume spikes as candles close. Not financial advice.

What relative volume measures
Relative volume, usually shortened to RVOL, compares how much a coin is trading right now against how much it normally trades. This volume screener calculates it by dividing the current candle's volume by the average volume of the previous N candles on the same timeframe. An RVOL of 1.0 means perfectly average activity, while 3.0 means three times the usual participation. Because the scanner measures volume in USDT rather than coin count, every asset is directly comparable regardless of its unit price.
Why volume confirms price moves
Volume is the fuel behind price movement. A breakout on heavy volume shows genuine participation and is more likely to follow through, while the same move on thin volume often fades. Traders track unusual volume because it typically arrives before or alongside the moves that matter, whether that is a new listing, a protocol upgrade, a liquidation cascade, or the quiet accumulation that precedes a trend. A volume screener that ranks the whole market by RVOL surfaces those coins immediately instead of leaving you to scroll through hundreds of charts.
Why RVOL is measured on closed candles
RVOL is measured on the last fully closed candle of your chosen timeframe. This matters, because a candle that is still forming has only partial volume, so including it would make every coin look artificially quiet. The RVOL period control sets how many prior candles form the baseline. A shorter period reacts faster and flags more coins, while a longer period is steadier and highlights only sustained deviations from the norm.
Tracking volume spikes as they happen
Switch to the Live Feed to turn this scanner into a real-time volume spike tracker. As each candle closes, any coin trading well above its own average is streamed to the top of the feed with its RVOL multiple, USDT volume, timeframe and price. Volume works best as confirmation rather than a signal on its own, so pair this screener with trend, momentum, and candlestick analysis before acting. Not financial advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is RVOL?
Relative volume, or RVOL, compares how much a coin is trading now against how much it normally trades over the same kind of period. It is expressed as a multiple, so an RVOL of 3 means roughly three times the usual activity. Because it is a ratio rather than a raw figure, it lets small and large coins be compared on the same scale.
What counts as a high RVOL reading?
Readings near 1 mean a coin is trading about as much as usual. Anything from roughly 2 upward indicates unusual participation, and very high readings normally coincide with news, a listing, or a sharp breakout. What matters is the deviation from that coin's own baseline, not the absolute number of coins traded.
Why does volume matter for a breakout?
Volume shows how many participants are behind a move. A breakout on heavy volume means real money is committing to the new level and is more likely to hold, while the same move on thin volume often fades once the initial buyers are filled. Traders commonly use volume as the confirmation step after a price level breaks.
Why is RVOL measured on the last closed candle?
A candle that is still forming has only accumulated part of its volume, so including it would make every coin look artificially quiet early in the period and artificially busy late in it. Measuring the last fully closed candle keeps every coin comparable no matter when you happen to load the page.
What is the Live Feed view?
The Live Feed turns the screener into a real-time spike tracker. As each candle closes, any coin trading well above its own average is streamed to the top of the feed with its RVOL, so unusual activity surfaces as it happens rather than only when you re-run a scan.
