# Top Movers

Top Movers is your real-time view of the highest-performing tokens on Shotgun, organised by market cap range. Unlike Trenches - which focuses on the earliest stage of token life cycles - Top Movers tracks tokens that have already built momentum and are being actively traded across different size categories.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can **Quick Buy** any token directly from the Top Movers board by clicking the buy button next to the token - no need to open the full token page first.

## The Three Columns

Top Movers splits tokens across three market cap ranges, all visible simultaneously. Each column is an independent live feed ranked by performance within that size category.

### Small Cap - <$50K

Tokens with a current market cap below $50K. The highest risk, highest reward category - these tokens move fast and can multiply quickly, but are also the most volatile.

Use this column to:

* Catch small tokens with early momentum before they move up in cap size
* Spot tokens approaching the Medium Cap range
* Assess risk metrics before entering a position

### Medium Cap - $50K-$500K

Tokens with a current market cap between $50K and $500K. These tokens have proven some demand and are in active price discovery.

Use this column to:

* Find tokens with established momentum and growing volume
* Identify tokens that have survived the early Small Cap phase
* Trade with slightly more liquidity and stability than Small Cap

### Large Cap - >$500K

Tokens with a current market cap above $500K. These are the most established tokens in the Top Movers board - higher liquidity, more holders, and more stable price action.

Use this column to:

* Trade higher-cap tokens with lower slippage
* Monitor large tokens for breakout moves
* Compare performance against their all-time high market cap

## The ATH Bar

The most important metric on the Top Movers board is the **ATH (All-Time High) Market Cap bar**, displayed below each token.

<figure><img src="/files/eN5B2Todc8EfrPYgRR5U" alt=""><figcaption><p>ATH Market Cap Bar</p></figcaption></figure>

The bar shows how close the token's **current market cap** is to its **all-time high market cap**. The further the bar is filled, the closer the token is to its previous peak.

| Bar State                | What It Means                                                      |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Short bar (low fill)** | Token is far below its ATH - large upside potential if it recovers |
| **Long bar (high fill)** | Token is approaching or near its ATH - potential resistance ahead  |
| **Full bar**             | Token is at or beyond its ATH - price discovery territory          |

**Why this matters:**

* A token near its ATH with strong volume could be breaking out to new highs
* A token far from its ATH with rising volume could be staging a recovery
* Comparing current MC to ATH MC gives you context that price alone doesn't

{% hint style="info" %}
The ATH value is shown in green text below each token (e.g. **ATH $54K**). The bar fills from left to right as the current market cap approaches that figure.

## Rankings

The top 3 tokens in each column are ranked with medal icons - gold, silver, and bronze. Rankings are based on performance within that market cap range and update in real time.

## Risk Signals to Watch

When evaluating tokens in Top Movers, pay attention to these warning signs:

* **High Dev Holdings %** - developers holding a large % can dump at any time
* **High Snipers %** - if bots sniped heavily at launch, early holders may dump quickly
* **High Bundlers %** - coordinated wallets can create artificial pump-and-dump patterns
* **Token near ATH with declining volume** - momentum may be fading

{% hint style="danger" %}
A token near its ATH does not mean it will continue higher. Always check volume, liquidity, and risk metrics before entering a position.
