A crypto market table is dense with numbers. Knowing what each column means turns it from noise into a useful picture of the market.
Price
The price is the most recent value at which an asset traded, aggregated across markets. It is the headline figure, but on its own it tells you little about a project’s size — a low price does not make a coin “cheap.”
Market capitalisation
Market capitalisation is price multiplied by circulating supply. It is the standard way to compare the relative size of different assets, and a far better gauge than price alone.
Volume
Trading volume is how much of an asset changed hands over a period, usually 24 hours. High volume points to active interest and better liquidity; very low volume can mean a price is easy to move and hard to trust.
24-hour and 7-day change
Percentage-change columns show momentum over a window. They are useful for spotting movement, but short windows are noisy — a big 24-hour swing is normal in a volatile market.
