How to Read a Coin Page

Price and change

The large number at the top is the current price in US dollars. Where a coin trades on major exchanges, it updates live from those exchanges; the note under the price says which ones. The percentage next to it is the change over the last 24 hours.

The chart

The chart switches between 1 day and the full history we hold. The 1-day and 7-day views use hourly data; longer ranges use daily closing prices. You can switch between price and market cap, and for coins listed on Binance you can show daily candles, where each candle shows the day's open, high, low and close. The grey bars underneath are daily trading volume.

Market stats

• Market cap: price × circulating supply. See what is crypto market cap.
• Fully diluted valuation: the market cap if every token that will ever exist were circulating.
• 24h trading volume: the value traded across exchanges in the last day.
• Volume / market cap: how actively it trades for its size.
• Circulating, total and max supply: how many coins exist now, including locked ones, and at most.

Each label links to its glossary entry if you want the detail.

All-time high and low

The highest and lowest prices ever recorded, with how far the current price is from each. A coin 80% below its all-time high has to rise fivefold to get back there.

Markets

Where the coin trades, with the pair, price, spread and 24-hour volume on each exchange. A coin that only trades on one small exchange is riskier than one with deep markets on several large ones. For tokens that also trade on decentralized exchanges, the DEX pools section lists the biggest pools.

Before you act on any of it

A coin page tells you what the market is doing, not what it will do. Use it to check facts (supply, where it trades, how liquid it is) and combine that with your own research into what the project actually does.
