Why prices move

Lesson 3 of 3 · 5 min

Crypto prices can move 10% in a day. Nobody can reliably predict them.

What moves prices

Supply and demand. More buyers than sellers push the price up.
News: regulation, hacks, listings, big holders selling.
Leverage. Traders borrow to make bigger bets; forced selling can cause sharp drops.
Liquidity. Small coins with few buyers can jump or crash on a single trade.

Market cap is price × supply. It does not mean that much money could be taken out.

Treat any crypto as risky. Never put in money you cannot afford to lose, and be careful with anyone who promises a price.
