Do last week's best performers keep winning?

Sometimes, but not reliably. The historical section on this page measures the 7 days that followed a 25%-plus weekly gain across the largest coins and sets it against an ordinary week, so you can see what the data shows rather than what is commonly believed.

What is the difference between 24-hour and 7-day gainers?

The 24-hour list catches sudden spikes; the 7-day list catches moves that lasted. A coin on both lists has been rising all week and is still rising today.

Are stablecoins excluded?

Yes. Stablecoins are designed not to move, so they would only add noise to a list of movers.

What has happened after this before

We found 861 times a coin gained 25% or more over seven days, across 32 coins between February 2019 and October 2026. Over the next 7 days, the typical result (the median) was −0.9% and the price was higher 47% of the time. An ordinary 7 days for the same coins had a median of −0.2% and was higher 49% of the time.

After the event

861 events, next 7 days

Typical result (median): -0.9%
Higher afterwards: 47%

Any ordinary stretch

58,761 days, same coins

Typical result (median): -0.2%
Higher afterwards: 49%

That is close to an ordinary 7-day stretch, so in this data the event itself told you little about what came next.

Caveats

The largest share of the events, 32%, fell in 2021. A result that holds in one market phase can reverse in the next.
Only coins that are in the top 100 today and have at least a year of history are included. Coins that collapsed and dropped out are missing, which tends to flatter the results.
The average is +5.5% against a median of −0.9%: a few very large moves pull the average away from the typical case, which is why the median leads.
Returns are close to close, with no fees or slippage. Each coin's events do not overlap, so one crash is not counted many times.

What this list shows

A weekly gainers list is less noisy than a daily one. A coin that tops the list for seven days has been bought steadily rather than spiked once, so the weekly view separates sustained moves from one-day squeezes.

It is also where sector rotations show up. When several coins in the same category, such as AI tokens or layer-1 chains, appear together near the top, money has usually moved into that theme rather than into the individual coins.

How the list is built

We take every coin in the top 100 by market cap, drop stablecoins, and sort by the percentage change in price over the last seven days as reported by CoinGecko. The 24-hour change and the RSI (14-day, from our own daily candles) sit beside it.

How to read it

1Look at the 24-hour column to see whether the week's mover is still moving or has already given part of it back.
2An RSI above 70 after a strong week is the normal state of a coin that has run; what matters is whether it can stay there, which strong trends do and weak spikes do not.
3Look for the same category appearing several times. A theme moving together is a stronger signal about the market than one coin moving alone.

What it doesn't tell you

Seven days is a short window. A coin that gained 40% this week may have been down 60% over the month, and a weekly gainers list cannot tell you whether you are looking at a recovery, a bubble or a dead-cat bounce.
