AlexCooper
1.

Create an account at a crypto exchange

Create an account at Kraken (our recommendation) or Bitget (currently offering the lowest DOT price). Sign up with email and password. In most cases, the next step is an identity verification process, so it’s best to have your ID card or passport ready.

2.

Add a payment method

Add your preferred payment method to your account. Depending on the exchange, you can choose between credit card, bank transfer, or instant payment options. Some exchanges also support PayPal or Apple Pay, although these usually come with slightly higher fees.

Price trend

Price trend

The price trend is an indicator that analyzes the short-term price movement (last 30 trading days) of a cryptocurrency to understand its market dynamics. For each day, it is assessed whether the price increased (referred to as a “positive” or “green” day) or decreased (known as a “negative” or “red” day) compared to the previous day. A predominance of green days over this period suggests an upward trend that may continue in the short to medium term.

Fear & Greed Index

Fear & Greed Index

The Fear and Greed Index for cryptocurrencies is a sentiment indicator measuring market mood on a scale from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed). It aggregates data from various sources such as volatility, market momentum, social media, market dominance, and Google Trends to assess overall market sentiment. Values in the “Greed” range (55-100) indicate a positive, potentially overoptimistic market mood, signaling a possibly overheated market. A “Neutral” value (45-54) reflects a balanced market sentiment. Values in the “Fear” range (0-44) indicate negative market sentiment, signaling fear or pessimism among investors and possibly an undervalued market.

Relative Strength Index

Relative Strength Index

The Relative Strength Index (RSI, last 14 days) is a popular financial indicator ranging from 0 to 100. It signals whether an asset is overvalued or overbought (above 70) or undervalued or oversold (below 30). Values between 30 and 70 indicate that the asset is fairly or neutrally valued. A low RSI below 30 can signal a potential buying opportunity due to undervaluation. RSI and other indicators should never be used as the sole basis for investment decisions.
