How fast does the market move?
Volatility shows how much and how quickly the value of a cryptocurrency can change. High volatility means more opportunity, but also more risk for investors. Cryptocurrencies are known for large price swings, often driven by speculation and news. Understanding volatility helps you make better decisions in this dynamic market. Stay alert—volatility can bring profit or loss!

Market momentum measures how quickly a cryptocurrency is rising or falling in value. A useful tool for this is the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which helps indicate if a coin is overbought or oversold. With RSI you can recognize potential turning points in the market. For example, an RSI above 70 often signals that a coin is overvalued, while under 30 can suggest a buying opportunity. Use momentum as a guide to enter or exit positions strategically.

How Much Is Being Traded?
Trading volume shows how much activity there is around a cryptocurrency—how often it’s bought or sold. High volume often signals strong interest and often more stability in price movements. Low volume may indicate the market is quiet or uncertain. Combine volume analysis with other indicators to confirm trends and make informed decisions. Trade wisely by observing both volume and price movement..

The Size of the Market
Market capitalization tells you how large a cryptocurrency is, based on the total number of coins multiplied by the price per coin. Large-market-cap coins, like Bitcoin, are often seen as more stable. Small-cap coins offer more growth potential but also bring more risk. Use market cap to better understand both risk and opportunity of a coin. Choose wisely based on your own investment goals.

Bitcoin dominance measures Bitcoin’s share in the total value of the cryptocurrency market. High dominance means Bitcoin is controlling the market; lower dominance may point to an “altcoin season,” when smaller coins gain more attention. Investors use dominance to identify where opportunities lie—Bitcoin or alternative coins. Monitor dominance to recognize market trends.

Who’s Holding Positions?
Open interest shows how many active contracts there are in futures and options markets. Rising open interest along with rising prices may signal a strong market; falling interest may suggest weakness. Use this indicator to see how much activity and interest there is in the market and combine it with price actions to better judge whether a trend may continue.

Funding rates in the crypto market determine payments between long and short positions. Positive rates signal demand for longs and bullish sentiment, whereas negative rates show the opposite. These rates help keep futures and spot prices aligned. For traders, high funding rates can increase costs or eat into profits. Monitor funding rates to make more informed decisions.
