What must we understand about cryptocurrencies before trading?

What is cryptocurrency trading?

When you trade cryptocurrencies, you use a CFD trading account or an exchange to buy and sell the underlying coins and make predictions about how their prices will move in the future.

Trading CFDs using cryptocurrencies

Trading CFDs are derivatives that let you speculate on changes in cryptocurrency prices without giving up ownership of the underlying coins. If you believe a cryptocurrency's value will increase, you can go long (or "buy") or short (or "sell") if you believe it will decrease.

Both are leveraged instruments, which means you just need to make a minimum margin deposit to fully access the underlying market. Leverage will make your profits and losses bigger because your profit or loss is still based on how much you put into it.

Using an exchange to buy and sell cryptocurrencies

You purchase the actual coins when you buy cryptocurrencies on an exchange. To start a position, you must open an exchange account, deposit the full value of the asset, and keep the cryptocurrency tokens in your personal wallet until you're ready to sell.

You must master the technology and evaluate the data to use exchanges. Each exchange has deposit restrictions, and maintaining an account is costly.

Where can I buy all of the cryptocurrencies?

There is now no single location that provides access to them because there are currently so many. However, one of the biggest trading platforms, Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: COIN), supports more than 100 cryptocurrencies at the moment. 

Another well-known trading site is Binance, where Binance Coin and its tokens can be traded. Here are some apps to look into if you want to buy corporate shares and cryptocurrency all in one place:

• Robinhood

• Webull

• Block's Cash App

• SoFi

Why do cryptocurrency markets fluctuate?

Supply and demand determine how cryptocurrency markets fluctuate. But because they are decentralized, they don't have to deal with as many political and economic problems as traditional currencies. Even though there is still a lot of mystery around cryptocurrencies, the following things can have a big impact on the price of a currency:

Supply: The number of coins in circulation is only one way to measure supply. Another way is to look at how fast coins are lost, stolen, or destroyed.

Market capitalization: Market capitalization measures the worth of all currencies in circulation and how users believe it is changing.

Press: the portrayal of cryptocurrencies in the media and the volume of coverage they are receiving

Integration: Integration is the ease with which a cryptocurrency can be added to existing systems, like payment systems for online shopping.

Key events: significant occasions such as regulatory events, security lapses, and economic setbacks
