Understand the numbers on the Markets page before acting on them.

Market capitalisation
Price multiplied by circulating supply. It describes size, not value or quality.
Trading volume
The value traded over 24 hours. Low volume can mean prices move sharply on small orders.
Dominance and sentiment
Dominance is one asset's share of total market cap. The Fear & Greed Index summarises sentiment signals into a 0–100 score. Both are context, not trading signals.
