The Basics Of Cryptocurrency Trading For Beginners

By Lisa Miller


These days, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and other cryptocurrencies have flooded the news because of the vast opportunities that they offer. While cryptocurrencies have not been officially recognized as an investment medium in many countries yet, a lot of people have been trading them to earn money. If one would want to try it out, here are some basic lessons on cryptocurrency trading for beginners.

If one would want to get into the market, then he must first know how it works. Basically, one will be taking out his cryptocurrencies from his wallet, which can be a USB hard wallet or a soft wallet which is an online wallet. From there, one will connect his wallet to the exchange and then transfer the cryptocurrency to his account in the exchange.

From there, one will connect his wallet to the exchange of his choice via address code. Once one has already connected the wallet, then he will just transfer the money into his account. The cryptocurrency market is pretty much like the stock market or forex market by nature so if one has some experience in those investments, it will not be too hard to learn.

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.

So with this, the first thing to take note of is fundamental analysis, which takes into consideration news. Since crypto is very liquid, then it is easily affected by supply and demand which means that news easily shakes it. For example, when the co founder of Bitcoin Dotcom said that Bitcoin was a bubble, the price automatically shot down.

Now it is very important to take note that investors do not like news where they think the commodity will crash. So for instance, when the co founder of the Bitcoin website said that Bitcoin will eventually burst, people started selling their Bitcoins. The opposite happens for when there is good news.

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.
