Weekly crypto research journal in Notion (Monday morning auto-update)

Every Monday morning at 8am ET, run an agent that turns my Notion crypto watchlist into a weekly research journal.

Step 1 — Read the watchlist. Use Notion (Query a Database) on my database called "Crypto Watchlist" to pull every row. Each row holds a CoinGecko coin slug (for example bitcoin, ethereum, solana) in a property called "Coin ID", and a free-text "Notes" property where I leave per-coin thoughts. Keep both fields for use later.

Step 2 — Gather market data. For each coin from the watchlist, call crypto-data's Get Coin Info, Get Markets Overview, and Get Market Chart (with a 7-day window). From those responses, assemble: current price, 7-day price change, 30-day price change, 24h volume and the change in volume vs the prior week, market cap rank and any change in rank, and a one-line characterization of the chart shape (e.g. "steady climb", "sharp drop midweek then recovery", "flat range"). If a coin slug does not resolve in crypto-data, skip that coin silently and move on. Do not invent values.

Step 3 — Write the journal. For each resolved coin, create a new page in my Notion database called "Crypto Research Journal" using Notion (Create a Page). Each entry should fill structured fields for: Weekly Price Move (percent), Volume Signal (rising / falling / flat), Rank Change (integer, can be negative), Coin (linked to the watchlist row if possible, otherwise plain text). Then the page body should contain two short sections: "This week" — a 3 to 5 sentence read on what happened, blending the price/volume/rank numbers with the chart shape, and "What to watch next week" — 2 to 3 bullets that tie the data back to whatever I wrote in the watchlist Notes for that coin.

Batch the page creates so all entries land cleanly in one pass and the journal stays tidy. Keep each entry to the size of a short briefing, not a wall of text. Write it as a personal research log: describe what the market did and why it might matter, never frame it as trading advice or a recommendation to buy or sell.

At the end of the run, post nothing externally. The journal pages in Notion are the only output.

Additional information

What does this prompt do?

Reads the coins you're tracking from a Notion watchlist database each Monday morning.
Pulls fresh market data for each coin: weekly and monthly price move, volume signal, market cap rank, and the shape of the last 7 days.
Writes one short briefing per coin to a separate Notion research journal database, with structured fields you can sort and filter later.
Ties the numbers back to any per-coin notes you left on the watchlist, framed as a research log rather than trading advice.

What do I need to use this?

A Notion workspace with two databases set up: a Crypto Watchlist (the coins you're tracking) and a Crypto Research Journal (where weekly entries will land).
Both databases shared with your Notion connection in General Input so the agent can read and write them.
Coin identifiers stored in the watchlist as CoinGecko slugs like bitcoin, ethereum, or solana, not ticker symbols.
No separate crypto data subscription. Market data is included with General Input.

How can I customize it?

Change the schedule: run it weekly, daily, or on a different day and time that fits your routine.
Tweak the journal entry shape: add a sentiment field, a chart screenshot section, or trim sections you do not read.
Filter the watchlist before the run, for example only coins tagged Active or in a specific category.
Swap the time window from 7 days to 30 days if you prefer a slower research cadence.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a paid crypto market data subscription?

No. Market data is included with General Input, so you only need your Notion workspace connected.

How does the agent know which coins to follow?

It reads them straight from your Notion watchlist each Monday, so updating the journal is as simple as editing a row in Notion.

What happens if a coin in my watchlist is misspelled or not supported?

The agent quietly skips that row and continues with the rest, so one bad entry will not break the weekly run.

Can I run this on a different day, or more than once a week?

Yes. You can move it to any day and time, or run it daily if you want a faster cadence of journal entries.

Is this giving me trading advice?

No. Each entry is written as a research log that describes what the market did during the week, not what you should do about it.
