PAX Gold price alerts, set from how PAXG actually moves
A PAX Gold price alert watches PAXG and messages you when it hits a level or moves by a percentage you choose. PAX Gold moved 0.63% on a typical day over the last 365 days — less than Bitcoin, which moved 1.19% — unusual for an altcoin and worth a tighter threshold. On one day in ten it moved more than 2.23%, and its worst single day in the window was 10.13%. On that record, a 3% 24-hour alert fired about 1.5 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 PAX Gold use?
PAX Gold moved 0.63% on a typical day over the last 365 days — less than Bitcoin, which moved 1.19% — unusual for an altcoin and worth a tighter threshold. On one day in ten it moved more than 2.23%, and its worst single day in the window was 10.13%.
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% | 3.9 | 47 |
| 3% | 1.5 ← rare enough | 18 |
| 5% | 0.3 | 4 |
| 8% | 0.1 | 1 |
| 10% | 0.1 | 1 |
| 15% | 0 | 0 |
| 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 PAX Gold: 3%, about 1.5 times a month.
Look at the gap between the two ends of that table. PAX Gold's worst day was about 16 times its typical one, which is a fat tail even by crypto standards: most days are quiet and then one is not. A percentage alert is the right instrument for a coin shaped like this, because it fires on the shape of the move rather than on a level you had to guess in advance — and the days you actually want to hear about are precisely the ones a price level set last month would have missed.

Three PAXG alerts worth setting
- PAX Gold rises above $4,191 — 3% above today's $4,069. It fires once, then re-arms only when the price crosses back and crosses again.
- PAX Gold falls below $3,947 — the same distance underneath. If you hold PAXG, this is the one that matters at 3am.
- PAX Gold moves 3% in 24 hours — direction-agnostic, and still the right alert wherever the price ends up.
Picking a PAXG price level
At $4,069, a single percent of PAX Gold is $40.69, so the two alert types feel very different here. $6,000 is 47.4% away and is the kind of level people talk about; a 3% alert, by contrast, will fire wherever the price happens to be in six months, which is the point of it.
PAX Gold is 28% below its all-time high of $5,619, which is close enough that the high is still the number people quote. A price alert somewhere between here and there tends to be more useful than one at the record itself, because the interesting part is the approach.
Where PAXG has been lately
Right now PAX Gold is having a quiet week — 1.5% down over seven days, less than two of its typical daily moves. It is up 1.22% over the last day. Quiet stretches are when a threshold set too tight feels fine, and then stops feeling fine.
At 3%, PAX Gold will reach you roughly once a month, which is rare enough that push is the right channel — you will not have learned to ignore it. Add Telegram as well if you want a written record of what fired while you were away. 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. PAX Gold'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 PAX Gold price alert?
Open CoinPriceAlert, search for PAX Gold, and tap the bell on its row. Choose a price level — $4,191 and $3,947 are 3% either side of today's $4,069 — or a percentage move, then pick push, Telegram or email. No account is needed to start.
What percentage should a PAXG alert use?
Start from this coin's own record rather than a rule of thumb. PAX Gold moved 0.63% on a typical day over the last 365 days, so a 3% 24-hour alert fired about 1.5 times a month. Anything tighter fires most days and trains you to swipe it away.
Why does PAX Gold need a percentage alert rather than a price?
Because its worst day was about 16 times its typical one. On a coin with a tail that long, the days worth hearing about are the ones no level chosen in advance would have caught, and a percentage alert fires on the size of the move instead.
What price should I set an alert at for PAX Gold?
$6,000 is the nearest round level above today's $4,069, and round numbers are where other people's orders cluster. $4,191 and $3,947 are 3% either side, which is the distance this coin's own record says is worth hearing about.
How often will a PAXG alert fire?
At 3% it fired about 1.5 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 PAX Gold 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 PAXG 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.
