Understand market activity
Market activity shows where movement, volume and momentum are changing across Bitvavo EUR and Kraken EUR spot markets.
Markets Understood brings these signals together to make notable market movements easier to see and place in the right context.
What can stand out?
A market can stand out in several ways. The price may start rising or falling faster, trading volume may increase significantly, or a coin may start moving more strongly than it did in the hours or days before.
A change in the pace of a move can also matter. A quiet market that suddenly becomes much more active tells a different story from a coin that has already been moving strongly for some time.
Markets Understood therefore looks not only at the direction of the price, but also at how quickly and how strongly activity is changing. One notable point is never enough to draw an immediate conclusion.
Context around market activity
A strong move does not automatically mean that a good trading opportunity is developing. For example, a price may already have risen substantially before the activity really becomes noticeable.
Markets Understood therefore first tries to understand the situation around a move. Does the activity fit the broader market picture? Is trading volume increasing? Is the move becoming stronger, or is it starting to lose strength?
This helps MU distinguish between something that is simply notable and a situation that may be interesting enough to examine further. Market activity is therefore a starting point for further analysis, not an automatic buy or sell signal.
Early and late market activity
Not every notable move is in the same phase. Sometimes activity has only just started to increase. In other cases, the price has already risen substantially before the move really stands out.
That difference matters. Early activity can be interesting because a move may still be developing. Late activity can instead mean that a market has already built up significant risk.
Markets Understood therefore tries not only to see that something is happening, but also to better understand where in the move that activity is developing.
Risk remains part of the picture
The stronger and faster a market moves, the more important it becomes to consider the risk as well. A price that rises quickly can fall just as quickly, especially when the move has already gone a long way.
Markets Understood therefore tries not only to show where activity increases, but also when extra caution may be important. This can include rapid price movements, strongly changing trading volume or a move that is becoming increasingly unstable.
Within MU, market activity is therefore always considered together with context and risk. The goal is not to show as many signals as possible, but to better understand which movements deserve further attention and which should instead be assessed with extra caution.
