Do last week's worst performers bounce back?

The historical section on this page measures the 7 days that followed a 25%-plus weekly drop across the largest coins and compares it with an ordinary week. It is the direct answer from our data.

Why does the same coin keep appearing on the losers list?

A coin in a prolonged downtrend loses a little every week. Coins that keep appearing here have usually been in a persistent decline, not a single event.

Is a falling coin the same as a falling market?

No. Compare the coin with Bitcoin over the same period. If everything is down, it is the market. If only a few coins are down, it is something about those coins.

What has happened after this before

We found 419 times a coin lost 25% or more over seven days, across 32 coins between January 2019 and June 2026. Over the next 7 days, the typical result (the median) was +3.9% and the price was higher 63% of the time. An ordinary 7 days for the same coins had a median of −0.3% and was higher 48% of the time.

After the event

419 events, next 7 days

Typical result (median): +3.9%
Higher afterwards: 63%

Any ordinary stretch

61,382 days, same coins

Typical result (median): -0.3%
Higher afterwards: 48%

That is better than an ordinary 7-day stretch: after this event, coins were more likely to rise and the typical gain was larger. It is a tendency in past data and not something you can count on, and it is reported with the caveats below.

Caveats

The largest share of the events, 25%, 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 +4.8% against a median of +3.9%: 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 losers list shows the coins that have lost the most over seven days. A one-day crash that recovered by the weekend will not be on it; a slow, steady bleed will. That makes it a better guide to coins that are in trouble than the daily list.

It is also a sanity check on a market-wide move. If the whole top 100 is down, the worst performers are simply the most volatile coins, which tells you about beta, not about the 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 seven days as reported by CoinGecko, biggest fall first. The 24-hour change and the RSI (14-day, from our own daily candles) sit beside it.

How to read it

1Check whether the 24-hour column is positive. A coin that fell all week and is up today may be bouncing; one still falling today has not found a floor.
2Compare with Bitcoin over the same seven days. A coin down 25% in a week when Bitcoin is down 5% has a coin-specific problem or is simply a high-beta coin.
3An RSI below 30 shows how stretched the fall is relative to the last two weeks. It has no power to say it has ended.

What it doesn't tell you

A coin that fell a lot this week can keep falling. The list says what happened, not what comes next, and nothing here suggests that the worst performer of the week is a bargain.
