Boosted dark particles of astrophysical origin can lead to nonstandard nuclear or electron recoil signals in direct detection experiments. We conduct an investigation of the daily modulation feature of a potential future signal of this type. In particular, we perform simulations of the dark particle interactions with electrons in atoms building up the Earth on its path to the detector and provide in-depth predictions for the expected daily changes in the signal for various direct detection experiments, including XENONnT, PandaX, and LUX-ZEPLIN.
