Why do small coins move so much?

Small coins often move far more than big ones, sometimes by tens of percent in a day. The reason is usually how thin their market is.

Thin pools

A trading pool with little in it reacts strongly to every trade. A modest purchase can shift the price a lot. That works both up and down.

Few traders

With few people trading, a single large buy or sell can set the price for a while. There is little to absorb it. That makes the price sensitive to single trades.

What it means for percentages

A big percentage on a thin market is not the same as a big move in value. The amount behind it may be small.

What it means for alerts

Rules that look at percentages fire often on small coins. Wider thresholds, or a cap on alerts, keep them useful.

Pulse Radar's alerts give one line on why a coin moved, which helps to tell a thin-market jump from a broader move. Open Pulse Radar
