# How to Find CEX/DEX Altcoins Before They Break Out

Finding altcoins before they pump on centralized exchanges (CEX) like Binance, Coinbase, or Bitci is tough—most are already up 15–30% by the time traders notice. CoinRotator solves this by tracking **relative strength** across key markets (BTC, ETH, USD), identifying trends **before** they hit the top gainers list.

#### How to Screen for New Uptrends on CoinRotator:

* **Choose Trend Speed** – Faster for momentum trading, slower for long-term trends.

* **Select Trend Freshness** – 1–5 signal streak for momentum, 5–10 for support/resistance, 10+ for reversals.
