If you are new to crypto, a market page can look like a wall of numbers. This guide explains what each figure means so you can read any coin page with confidence.
Price and 24-hour change
The headline price is the most recent traded value in your chosen currency. The 24-hour change shows how that price has moved over the past day, expressed as a percentage. A green number means the price is up over the period; red means it is down.
Market capitalization
Market cap is price multiplied by circulating supply. It is the best single measure of an asset’s relative size. A coin with a low unit price can still have a very large market cap if many coins are in circulation.
Trading volume
Volume tells you how much of the asset changed hands recently. High volume usually means better liquidity, so it is easier to buy or sell without moving the price much.
Supply figures
Circulating supply is what is trading now; maximum supply is the hard cap, if one exists. Comparing the two shows how much potential new supply could still enter the market.
Putting it together
No single number tells the whole story. Reading price, market cap, volume and supply together gives a far clearer picture than price alone.
