Prices and moves as of 4 Oct 2026, 06:21 UTC. Trend is the price against its 50-day average. Hover a row for more detail.
What has happened after this before
We found 1,067 times a coin closed down 10% or more in a single day, across 33 coins between January 2019 and September 2026. Over the next 7 days, the typical result (the median) was −0.3% and the price was higher 49% of the time. An ordinary 7 days for the same coins had a median of −0.3% and was higher 49% of the time.

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, 28%, 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 +1.6% against a median of −0.3%: 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 losers list ranks coins by how far their price has fallen over the last 24 hours. Large single-day drops in the top 100 are usually one of three things: a market-wide sell-off that hit everything and hit this coin harder, news specific to the coin, or the unwinding of a rally that ran too far.
Telling the three apart matters more than the size of the drop. If most of the list is down 6% to 9%, the market fell and these coins fell with it. If one coin is down 25% while the rest are flat, something happened to that coin.
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 24 hours as reported by CoinGecko, biggest fall first. The 7-day change and the RSI (14-day, from our own daily candles) sit beside it for context.
How to read it
1Compare each coin with the rest of the list and with Bitcoin on the same day. A drop that matches the market is a different story from a drop that does not.
2An RSI under 30 means the coin has fallen far and fast relative to its recent average. That is what traders call oversold, and it describes the past two weeks rather than predicting a bounce.
3Check the coin's page for news before reading anything into the number. A fall caused by a hack or a delisting is not the same kind of event as a fall caused by a market-wide move.
What it doesn't tell you
A coin that has fallen a lot is not cheap because it has fallen. The ranking does not distinguish a temporary dip from the start of a collapse, and buying the top of a losers list on the assumption it will bounce has failed as often as it has worked.
Questions
What counts as a top loser?
Among the 100 largest coins by market cap, stablecoins excluded, the ones with the largest percentage price decrease over the last 24 hours.
Is a coin that dropped a lot a good buy?
Not by itself. The historical section on this page measures the 7 days after a 10%-plus daily drop for the largest coins and compares it with an ordinary 7-day stretch, so you can see whether big drops have tended to be followed by bounces or by more falls.
Why are so many coins down at once?
Crypto prices are strongly correlated. In a sell-off most coins fall together, usually led by Bitcoin, which is why this list often shows a dozen coins down by similar amounts instead of one standout.
