Reading Market Signals: A Starter Kit
Simple indicators that add context to the price chart.
Beginners often watch only price. A few extra signals add valuable context. None is a crystal ball, but together they paint a fuller picture.
Signals worth knowing
- Volume — strong moves on high volume are more convincing than on thin volume.
- Bitcoin dominance — shows whether money is rotating into or out of altcoins.
- The Fear & Greed Index — gauges market sentiment.
- On-chain flows — coins moving to exchanges can signal selling pressure.
Use signals to ask better questions, not to chase certainty. Always manage risk.
