We Graded 1,585 Crypto Callers on X. 22% Never Had a Single 5x. Here Is the Data

Every day, thousands of X accounts post a contract address and say "this one". PumpPill has been reading those posts since May 2026, finding every contract in them, and grading each call against what the coin did afterwards. This is what the numbers say about the people who call coins for a living.

Measured on October 6, 2026. Every number below comes from the same data that powers the Influencer Track Record Checker, where you can type any handle and see its calls.

How a call is graded

A call is a post that contains the token's contract address. A ticker alone is not a call, because one ticker can mean five coins. We record the market cap when our scanners first saw the coin and the highest market cap it reached after that. A call "hit 5x" if the peak was at least five times the entry.

Only accounts with 8 or more graded calls are counted, so one lucky post cannot make a record. That leaves 1,585 accounts and 114,634 calls.

The headline numbers

| | Callers | Share |

|---|---|---|

| Accounts with 8+ graded calls | 1,585 | 100% |

| Never had a single call hit 5x | 348 | 22% |

| Hit 5x on fewer than a quarter of calls | 1,089 | 69% |

| Hit 5x on a quarter or more of calls | 148 | 9% |

Across all 114,634 calls, 8.3% reached 5x and 23.9% reached 2x. The median caller's single best call peaked at 13.2x.

Put another way: if you had bought every coin a typical caller posted, three out of four of them never even doubled.

Three out of four calls never reach 2x

Widening the lens to every account we have seen post a contract, not just the ones with 8 or more calls, gives 138,102 graded calls. 75.4% of them never reached 2x from the market cap at which we first saw them.

That number is the one to remember when a profit-and-loss screenshot comes past your timeline. A caller posts dozens of coins. One of them runs. The screenshot shows the one.

Bigger accounts are not better callers

| Followers | Callers | Share with no 5x ever | Share hitting 5x on 25%+ of calls | Calls that hit 5x |

|---|---|---|---|---|

| Under 1K | 847 | 26% | 7% | 7.9% |

| 1K to 10K | 648 | 16% | 13% | 8.7% |

| 10K to 100K | 85 | 24% | 8% | 7.3% |

| 100K+ | 5 | 1 of 5 | 1 of 5 | 20.7% |

Accounts between 1,000 and 10,000 followers have the best records as a group. Accounts between 10,000 and 100,000 followers do slightly worse than accounts under 1,000. The five accounts over 100,000 followers are too few to say anything about, so the 20.7% figure is five accounts and 111 calls, not a trend.

Follower count tells you how many people will buy after a post. It does not tell you whether the post was early.

What this means before you follow a call

1. Check the record, not the screenshot. A profit-and-loss card is one trade, chosen by the person who made it. A record is every call.
2. Count calls, not wins. An account that posts fifty coins a week will always have a winner to show you. The question is what happened to the other forty-nine.
3. Ask when they posted. A call made after the coin already ran is not a call, it is an exit.

Method and limits

• Source: 114,634 calls from 1,585 X accounts with 8 or more graded calls, posted between May 12 and October 6, 2026, found by searching X for the full contract address.
• Entry is the market cap at PumpPill's first scan of the coin, which is usually within minutes of the post. Peak is the highest market cap recorded after that. Gains are capped at nothing; a 500x counts as a 500x.
• An account can be mis-attributed if it quotes someone else's contract, and a post we did not see is not counted. The follower tiers use the highest follower count we recorded for the account.
• A low hit rate is a statistical observation, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Any account can ask for a re-check of a call at [email protected].
