📊 How to understand the numbers before buying a crypto?

If you're about to make your first purchase, you've surely seen a chart full of figures: current price, volume, highs and lows in 24h… but what do they really mean? Let me explain it simply:

1. Current price

This is the last value at which someone bought that crypto. It changes constantly. Don’t buy just because “it’s going up,” that doesn’t always mean it will continue to do so.

2. Highest and lowest price in 24h

It tells you the range in which the price moved in the last day.

👉 Example: If the minimum was $1.80 and the maximum $2.10, that means someone bought cheap, and others, more expensive. If you’re close to the highest price… be careful! You might be buying high.

3. Volume in USDT or USD

This tells you how much money has moved in that crypto in the last 24 hours.

🔹 High volume: a lot of people are buying and selling.

🔹 Low volume: little interest, you could get stuck if you want to sell later.

4. Volume in the crypto (e.g. 100,000 SOL)

How many coins of that token have been traded. Useful to see if there is activity or if it’s very quiet.

5. Recent trend

Look at the chart: Is it going up, down, sideways? It’s not to predict the future, but to avoid buying right at the peak.

🧠 Quick tip:

Before buying, ask yourself:

✔️ Am I buying high or low?

✔️ Is there enough movement in this crypto?

✔️ Does it make sense to enter now or is it better to wait?

Learning to read these data can save you unnecessary mistakes. You don’t need to be a pro trader, just have some common sense.
