Is it better to trade large-cap or small-cap cryptocurrencies? When it comes to trading cryptocurrencies, many traders can be confused about which asset to trade. There are thousands of cryptocurrency projects on the market, of varying market capitalisation and utility. It is the latter quality that I want to focus on in this article as the size of the cryptocurrency can significantly affect the volatility and trading conditions of the asset. In crypto, market capitalization is the value you get when you multiply the unit price of a token or coin by the total number of such tokens in circulation. It is a measure of how big a digital asset is. Although the terms ‘large’ and ‘small’ are quantitatively ambiguous, a general rule is that a large-cap cryptocurrency has a market cap of more than $10 billion, while a low cap has less than this value. Going by this rule, at the time of writing, examples of large-cap cryptocurrencies are Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), Binance coin (BNB), Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA). Examples of low-cap assets are far more plentiful than large-cap assets. In fact, most outside of the largest 50 projects are valued at under $1 billion. Large-cap cryptocurrencies are typically considered less volatile than small-cap cryptocurrencies, because of the larger trading volume and larger number of market participants that they attract. However, be aware, this can lure traders into a false sense of security, because extreme volatility can appear in the charts of any cryptocurrency regardless of their market capitalisation. This is due to the immaturity and interconnectedness of the sector. Even so, small-cap cryptocurrencies have a higher volatility potential due to the lower trade volume that occurs with these assets, and thus, they generally have wider spreads. Traders of small-cap cryptocurrencies look to overcome the wider spreads by taking advantage of the larger price moves that can be inherent in these volatile assets. All the while, because small-cap assets attract less retail and media attention, market moving news reports can be few and far between, meaning that the driving factors of price action in small-cap assets can be mysterious at times. Before choosing whether to trade large-cap or small-cap cryptocurrencies you should understand how your trading strategy applies to the characteristics of each asset and what you want to achieve.

Bitcoin Wave 4 Invalidation Level - The Level To WatchUsing the BTC CME chart as the most dominant chart, we what appears to be a fresh motive wave forming, starting from the 2018 bear market bottom. Wave 1 failed to set a new ATH, leaving BTC to retrace most of wave 1 in wave 2. Wave 3 was a massive leg up, followed by an expanded flat correction in the wave 4 zone. Wave 4 should not retrace into wave 1 or else it is invalidated. As long as this level isn't breached, what is to come should ultimately be obvious in hindsight to all.

Bitcoin Futures GapThe red fall has not been covered, the green rise has not been covered, and the gray-white rise and fall has been covered. The red horizontal line is the K-line gap caused by the rise in the past two years ago, and the green horizontal line is the K-line gap caused by the decline in the past year. , The gray and white lines are all the gaps that have been filled in the history of Bitcoin. The low price of the red line is more than the high price of the green line. The probability of filling the gap in history is 90%~100%. It is only a matter of time before the gap is filled. The thick line in the picture is a big gap, and the thin line is a small gap. The lines in this picture can be used for a long time.
