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.
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.

Top Movers Board

​
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 - Under $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 - Over $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.

ATH Market Cap Bar

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. 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
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.

​
Token Metrics

Each token card shows the following data at a glance:

​
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
A token near its ATH does not mean it will continue higher. Always check volume, liquidity, and risk metrics before entering a position.
