How to read the tape: a 24‑hour move is a blunt instrument. If the asset is small, a single wallet or a single venue can move price materially. Use the 24h change as a volatility signal, not as proof of trend.
Snapshot: price $0.00, 24h change 0.00%. If volume is missing, assume liquidity is unknown and validate it before committing size.
Trading insight that stays true across cycles: when liquidity is uncertain, position sizing is your edge. Start small, measure execution quality, and scale only when the market can absorb it.
Crypto assets typically cluster into a few behavior regimes: large-cap “macro” assets, protocol/utility assets, and narrative-driven meme/community assets. When fundamentals are unclear, the safest assumption is that price is primarily narrative and liquidity driven.
Liquidity drives volatility: shallow order books amplify every trade. That means charts can look “strong” while being structurally fragile. A trend that survives rising volume is more credible than a trend that survives only on thin prints.
Reflexivity: in crypto, price often creates the story that brings new buyers, which pushes price higher—until it doesn’t. Your job is to identify what would break the story (exchange delisting, contract risk, whale distribution, regulatory pressure, or simply attention moving elsewhere).
Practical approach: treat this as a probability game. You’re not trying to predict; you’re trying to avoid bad risk/reward. If you cannot verify supply, contract, and credible venues, you should assume tail risk is high.
Tokenomics answers three questions: who can sell, when they can sell, and how much they can sell. Even when exact supply numbers aren’t provided, you can still evaluate the structure.
Without supply clarity, the honest stance is: upside may exist, but the market can reprice violently when new supply hits. Tokenomics is not trivia—it's the plumbing that determines whether a rally is durable.
