Ethereum price alerts, set from how ETH actually moves
An Ethereum price alert watches ETH and messages you when it hits a level or moves by a percentage you choose. Ethereum moved 1.45% on a typical day over the last 365 days — a little more than Bitcoin, which moved 1.19%. On one day in ten it moved more than 4.92%, and its worst single day in the window was 17.46%. On that record, a 5% 24-hour alert fired about 2.9 times a month — rare enough to still be worth opening. CoinPriceAlert checks the condition on its servers, so it arrives with the app closed, free for 3 alerts.

What threshold should Ethereum use?
Ethereum moved 1.45% on a typical day over the last 365 days — a little more than Bitcoin, which moved 1.19%. On one day in ten it moved more than 4.92%, and its worst single day in the window was 17.46%.
That is the number the threshold should come from, because an alert that fires on an ordinary day is one you learn to dismiss — and then you dismiss the one that mattered. The table below is an audit rather than a forecast: for each threshold it counts the days in the last 365 whose move exceeded it, which is exactly what a 24-hour percentage alert measures.
| 24-hour threshold | Fires per month | Fires per year |
|---|---|---|
| 2% | 11.7 | 142 |
| 3% | 7.3 | 89 |
| 5% | 2.9 ← rare enough | 35 |
| 8% | 0.8 | 10 |
| 10% | 0.4 | 5 |
| 15% | 0.1 | 1 |
| 20% | 0 | 0 |
| 25% | 0 | 0 |
| 30% | 0 | 0 |
The highlighted row is the tightest threshold that still fired three times a month or fewer for Ethereum: 5%, about 2.9 times a month.
Ethereum's worst day was roughly 12 times its typical one. That is a wide enough spread that a single threshold cannot do both jobs: something near 5% catches the days that matter, while anything near its median of 1.45% fires most weeks. If you want both, set the percentage alert at 5% and a separate price level at whichever number you would actually act on.

Three ETH alerts worth setting
- Ethereum rises above $2,465 — 5% above today's $2,347. It fires once, then re-arms only when the price crosses back and crosses again.
- Ethereum falls below $2,230 — the same distance underneath. If you hold ETH, this is the one that matters at 3am.
- Ethereum moves 5% in 24 hours — direction-agnostic, and still the right alert wherever the price ends up.
Picking a ETH price level
At $2,347, a single percent of Ethereum is $23.47, so the two alert types feel very different here. $4,000 is 70.4% away and is the kind of level people talk about; a 5% alert, by contrast, will fire wherever the price happens to be in six months, which is the point of it.
Ethereum is 53% below its all-time high of $4,946. At that distance the record is a poor guide to anything, and thresholds are better set from how the coin has moved lately — the table above — than from where it once was.
Where ETH has been lately
Over the last seven days Ethereum is 4.3% down, which is inside its normal range: a 5% alert would not have fired on the week as a whole. It is up 0.82% over the last day.
Because 5% fires around 2.9 times a month on Ethereum, think about where it lands before you set it. Push is right for the ones you would act on; Telegram is better for the ones you want to read later without a buzz. Quiet hours hold anything overnight until morning, and they are worth switching on for a coin that moves this often. Whichever you choose, the condition is evaluated on our servers rather than on your phone — and because the usual reason an alert app goes quiet is a revoked permission or a retired push token rather than the alert itself, the app checks that whole chain and names the broken link. Ethereum's live chart, range and extended technicals are on its coin page if you would rather watch than be told.
Frequently asked questions
How do I set a Ethereum price alert?
Open CoinPriceAlert, search for Ethereum, and tap the bell on its row. Choose a price level — $2,465 and $2,230 are 5% either side of today's $2,347 — or a percentage move, then pick push, Telegram or email. No account is needed to start.
What percentage should an ETH alert use?
Start from this coin's own record rather than a rule of thumb. Ethereum moved 1.45% on a typical day over the last 365 days, so a 5% 24-hour alert fired about 2.9 times a month. Anything tighter fires most days and trains you to swipe it away.
What price should I set an alert at for Ethereum?
$4,000 is the nearest round level above today's $2,347, and round numbers are where other people's orders cluster. $2,465 and $2,230 are 5% either side, which is the distance this coin's own record says is worth hearing about.
How often will a ETH alert fire?
At 5% it fired about 2.9 times a month over the last 365 days. The table on this page shows every other threshold, so you can pick the frequency you want rather than discovering it afterwards.
Is the Ethereum alert free?
Yes. The free plan covers 3 active alerts across every market in the app, with price and 24-hour percentage alerts, the home screen widget and the daily digest, delivered by push, Telegram or email, with no card required.
Do ETH alerts work when the app is closed?
Yes. Every alert is evaluated on our servers against a live price feed, not on your phone, so it fires whether the app is open, closed or swiped away. The app shows you when the servers last checked, so you never have to take that on trust.
How far is Ethereum from its all-time high?
53% below it. The high was $4,946 and ETH is $2,347 now. You can set an alert on that level directly, though the approach is usually more interesting than the number itself.
