The Basics Of Cryptocurrency Trading For Beginners

By Lisa Miller


With cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum gaining a lot of popularity because of the money people earn from investing in them, much more people are investing into the cryptos. All over the world, many companies have been opening up exchanges and markets that allow people to trade cryptocurrencies just like stocks and forex. If one is interested in this, here are a few tips on cryptocurrency trading for beginners.

Now, before going to the details of crypto investing, it is important to know a few things about it. First of all, it is important to know how to safely keep the cryptos so that they will not get hacked or stolen. Basically, one will keep his currencies in a wallet that comes in the form of a hard wallet which is a USB or a soft wallet which is found in the cloud.

Now, these wallets are then connected to the exchange that one wants to trade in. These exchanges are pretty much like stock or forex markets wherein one will choose a crypto and trade it. Once one connects his wallet to the exchange and deposits cryptos in the market, then he can start investing.

Now, the very concept of investing in cryptocurrencies revolve around the rules of supply and demand. In a nutshell, an increase in demand will lead to an increase in price and vice versa. The demand, on the other hand, will go up whenever supply goes down because of scarcity and value.

Knowing this, the next thing that one has to take into consideration is the fundamentals of the crypto. The fundamentals refer to the news reports that are being broadcast in the media. News is very important to the price action of the digital currencies because when there is bad news, investors pull out.

When someone influential or when a trustworthy news report comes out, the investors react in the direction that the news does. If it is bad news, the investors pull out, like what happened with the above example. If there is good news, then more investors put money in, increasing price.

A second type of analysis is known as technical analysis which is the analyzing of the charts or graphs that show the action of price. In the very basics of technical analysis, one has to know of two zones namely the resistance and support. The zone or price level above the current price is called resistance level while the zone or line below the price is the support level. The two things to look out or is a bounce or breakout. If the price breaks through the support or resistance, then one will follow that breakout direction. However, if the price bounces off either levels, then one moves in the opposite direction.

If one wants to go into trading, these are the things to know. If one wants to do well, then he has to learn as much as he can. The law of supply and demand, fundamentals, and technicals are very important aspects of investing.
