As i mentioned above that crypto market is volatile and versatile. The prices of crypto currencies are change every time. SO there is always the chance of earning profit or losing money. Sometime when you buy some crypto like Dogecoin and it's market goes up within one night. Then price will be rise and then you can earn profit by selling those coins in high price.

But if the market goes down. Then you have to sell your coins in low price while you bough them at high price. In this case you face lose. SO profit and lose are two main aspect of crypto market.

But there are soe tools which are used by the crypto traders to save themselves from any lose. They do proper research before investing money in any coin. They use the different analysis method to predict the future of the coin. Here i am going to explain the tools which are used by the crypto traders to predict where the market will goes next.

1- Technical Analysis.

Technical analysis is a tool which help us to predict the market moves. This tool is very effective and helpful to predict the market trend. The different factors are studied here to find out the market next move such as historical and statistical data, Reverse strategy, etc. We see the history of market and predict the future. Here we studied the demand and supply too. Like if the demand is higher than the supply, its mean that the price is high at this time, market is at its uptrend. It is the best time to sell your holded coin at the high price to earn the profit. But after every uptrend, there always be a downtrend. So it's mean that the market will be fell down next in future.

Example

In above graph, We can see that there is always a downtrend after an uptrend. The historical data and some other aspect help us in this tool to predict the market moves. The green candles are showing the buying and red candles are showing the selling of coin. We can see that there were small moves in market from march till mid of april. The market price some time raised and sometime fell down. AFter 15 of April. the market goes very high. The price raised to great extent. But the graph history showing that the after every uptren, there is downtrend too. So the market fell down after a high uptrend. Then again after Mid of May, the market goes up and after a week, it started feeling down. The market was at its downtrend again till starting of June. The whole of of june was in small trends of market. But history showing that, after every uptrend, there is downtrend too.

2- Fundamental Analysis

In simple wording, In fundamental analysis, the market next moves are predicted by the any statement related to the market from any worthy person, statement of any big share holder, tweet or anything related to that coin help us in fundamental analysis to predict the market future. The people who have big shares in coin can change the market trend at any time by their moves or simple by their words. When they say anything about the coin, the people act accordingly to that. If they say that they are going to withdraw their coins, it's mean that the market is going down, so people hurriedly sell their coins too. The positive news always result in market uptrend while negative news can cause of market crash.
