Market cap, volume and liquidity
The three numbers to check before looking at any chart.
- Market cap = price × circulating supply. It tells you the size of a coin.
- Volume shows how much changed hands. Moves on low volume are less reliable.
- Liquidity is how easily you can buy or sell without moving the price.
