Analyze crypto market with CoinGecko: volatility metrics & investment signals
DISCOUNT 20%
This n8n template lets you automatically pull market data for the cryptocurrencies from CoinGecko every hour, calculate custom volatility and market-health metrics, classify each coin’s price action into buy/sell/hold/neutral signals with risk ratings, and expose both individual analyses and a portfolio summary via a webhook. It’s perfect for crypto analysts, DeFi builders, or portfolio managers who want on-demand insights without writing a single line of backend code.
🔧 How it works
Schedule Trigger fires every hour (or interval you choose).
HTTP Request (CoinGecko) fetches the top 10 coins by market cap, including 24 h, 7 d, and 30 d price change percentages.
Split In Batches ensures each coin is processed sequentially.
Function (Calculate Market Metrics) computes:
- A weighted volatility score
- Market-cap-to-volume ratio
- Price-to-ATH ratio
- Composite market score
IF & Switch nodes categorize each coin’s 24 h price action (up >5%, down >5%, high volatility, or stable) and append:
- signal (BUY/SELL/HOLD/NEUTRAL)
- riskRating (High/Medium/Low/Unknown)
- recommendation & investmentStrategy guidance
NoOp & Merge nodes consolidate each branch back into a single data stream.
Function (Generate Portfolio Summary) aggregates all analyses into:
- A Markdown portfolioSummary
- Counts of buy/sell/hold/neutral signals
- Risk distribution
Webhook Response returns the full JSON payload with individual analyses and the summary for downstream consumers.
👤 Who is it for?
This workflow is ideal for:
Crypto researchers and analysts who need scheduled market insights
DeFi and trading bot developers looking to automate signal generation
Portfolio managers seeking a no-code overview of top assets
Automation engineers exploring API integration and data enrichment
📑 Data Structure
When you trigger the webhook, you’ll receive a JSON object containing:
individualAnalyses: Array of { coin, symbol, currentPrice, priceChanges, marketMetrics, signal, riskRating, recommendation }
portfolioSummary: Markdown report summarizing signals, risk distribution, and top opportunity
marketSignals: Counts of each signal type
riskDistribution: Counts of each risk rating
timestamp: ISO string of analysis time
⚙️ Setup Instructions
Import: In n8n Editor → click “Import from JSON” → paste this workflow JSON.
Configure Schedule: Double-click the Schedule Trigger → set your desired interval (default: every hour).
Webhook Path: Open the Webhook node → choose a unique path (e.g., /crypto‐analysis) and “POST”.
Activate: Save and activate the workflow.
Test:
- Open the webhook url to other tab or use cURL
curl -X POST https://<your-n8n-host>/webhook/<path>
You’ll get back a JSON payload with both portfolioSummary and individualAnalyses.
📝 Tips
- Rate-Limit Handling: If CoinGecko returns 429, insert a Delay node (e.g., 500 ms) after the HTTP Request.
- Batch Size: Default is 1 coin at a time; you can bump it to parallelize.
- Customization: Tweak volatility weightings or add new metrics directly in the “Calculate Market Metrics” Function node.
- Extension: Swap CoinGecko for another API by updating the HTTP Request URL and field mappings.
