Quick Answer: Tap the Little Bell Icon at the Top-Right of Any Coin Page in the Binance App
Binance doesn't bury price alerts deep in the menus — every trading pair has a bell icon in the top-right of its market page, and tapping it opens the alert configuration. But many newcomers either don't notice it, or set up alerts and never receive the push. This article walks through alert setup and troubleshooting so you stop missing critical price moves. Make sure you've already registered on Binance and installed the Binance App — the App is the main hub for alerts.
Three Types of Price Alert Triggers
Price Reach
Set a target price (for example, BTC = 70,000 USDT) and get pushed when price hits it. Both "price above" and "price below" directions are supported. This is the most common form.
Percentage-Change Alert
Triggers based on 24-hour percent change — for example, "up more than 5%" or "down more than 3%". Better suited for monitoring sudden moves rather than specific prices, especially useful when an altcoin makes an unusual move.
Smart Alert
An AI-driven combined alert in the Binance App that covers multi-dimensional signals like abnormal volatility, breakouts of support/resistance, and large transactions. Beginners can simply turn it on; advanced users typically customize specific rules instead.
Step-by-Step Setup on the App
Step 1: Open the Coin's Market Page
- Open the Binance App
- Tap Markets at the bottom
- Search for or pick the target coin (e.g., BTC/USDT)
- Enter the K-line chart page
Step 2: Tap the Bell Icon
The small bell icon at the top-right of the chart page. An empty outlined bell means no alerts; once one is set, it becomes a filled bell with a badge.
Step 3: Pick an Alert Type
Binance lists several common templates:
- Price above: enter target price (good for buying breakouts or taking profit)
- Price below: enter target price (good for buying dips or stopping out)
- 24h gain ≥ X%
- 24h loss ≥ X%
Step 4: Choose Notification Channels
You can pick multiple channels at the same time:
- In-app push (most immediate)
- System banner notification
- Email reminder
- SMS reminder (available in some regions)
Step 5: One-Time or Recurring
- Once: triggers a single time, then disables
- Recurring: alerts every time the condition is met (set a wider gap to avoid being spammed)
Setting Alerts on the Web
The web entry point is slightly more hidden:
- Open any spot or futures trading pair page
- Find the bell icon in the right-side panel
- Click to open the alert configuration
Web alerts won't push to your mobile App — they only show as desktop browser notifications. If your browser isn't open, you won't see them, so we recommend setting alerts on the App.
Recommended Alert Strategies
Entry Alert
Set your desired buy price as a "price below" alert. Place orders only when price actually returns to your level — avoid chasing the top. For example, if BTC is at 65,000 and you want to enter at 60,000, set the alert at 60,500 to give yourself a heads-up.
Take-Profit Alert
After opening a position, set your target take-profit as a "price above" alert. You don't have to sell when it triggers — but you'll get a chance to review whether to scale out.
Stop-Loss Alert
When holding a position, set a psychological stop level as a "price below" alert. When it triggers, decide immediately whether to cut losses or add to position — don't pretend you didn't see it.
Monitor Key Technical Levels
Support, resistance, prior highs, prior lows — these levels are often where the action happens. Set alerts on a few key levels and watch the chart only when something is about to break.
Watch for Anomalies
For coins you don't hold but care about, enable 24h gain/loss alerts to catch sudden runs or capitulations early.
What to Do If You're Not Receiving Notifications
Step 1: Check App Notification Permissions
iPhone: Settings → Notifications → Binance, enable "Allow Notifications," "Lock Screen," "Banners," and "Sounds." Android: Settings → Apps → Binance → Notifications, enable everything.
Step 2: Check In-App Toggles
Binance App Profile → Settings → Notification Settings, confirm "Price Alerts" is enabled.
Step 3: Check Do-Not-Disturb Modes
iPhone "Focus Mode" or Android "Do Not Disturb" will silence pushes. Check these system-level toggles and add Binance to the exception list if needed.
Step 4: Background Killed
Many Chinese Android skins aggressively kill backgrounds. In the system battery settings, set Binance to "no background restrictions", otherwise pushes may be delayed or dropped.
Step 5: Email Alerts in Spam Folder
If you set email alerts but aren't seeing them, check your spam folder. Add [email protected] to your safe senders list.
Advanced Use Cases
Multiple Alerts on the Same Coin
You can set multiple alerts on a single coin — for example, one at 60,000 and one at 70,000 covering both directions. Once the range is covered, you'll know first whichever way price moves.
Group Coins by Purpose
In the Binance App Watchlist → create custom groups (e.g., "Core Holdings," "Watch Pool," "Altcoins") and configure alerts within each group so notifications stay signal, not noise.
Webhook Integration
Binance currently does not officially support webhook forwarding for alerts. If you need to push alerts to Telegram, Discord, or DingTalk, you can use IFTTT or third-party APIs (with notification-read access), but be careful about account security.
Common Questions
Are alerts free?
Completely free. Whether you're a regular user or VIP, there's no hard cap on the number of alerts, but we recommend keeping it under 50 to avoid push fatigue.
Will I receive pushes if the App is closed?
Yes — as long as the App isn't force-killed by the system and notification permissions are normal, alerts come through whether the App is closed or your phone is locked.
How accurate are the alerts?
Price alerts are based on the spot index price. Actual fill price may differ slightly. Percentage-change alerts use a rolling 24h window with a few seconds of update lag, but they're plenty for normal trading decisions.
What happens to my alerts if I delete my Binance account?
Alerts are tied to your account, so account closure clears them all.
Can I import alerts in bulk?
No. Each coin must be configured individually — there's no bulk-import API.
Once your alerts are dialed in, you no longer have to babysit charts all day. Binance's push reliability is among the best of the major exchanges, and combined with watchlist groups, the efficiency gain is significant.
