Hello just for better understanding i want to know some terms that are used in bitcoin price websites like coinmarketcap.com or coingecko.com , some of them are clear but i want to understand a little deeper with example. some terms like :

• Market Cap
• Fully Diluted Market Cap
• Volume
• Trading Volume
• Market Dominance
• Circulating Supply

Thank you.

I don't know a lot about this terminologies but you can use this link (https://www.investopedia.com/search?q=fully+diluted+market+cap) to search for those terms. The link that I provided is pretty versatile for financial knowledge. You can use Google for this terminologies to be honest.

• Market Cap

: This in a simple english, the amount of money or inflow of a token either in an exchange or wallet

• Volume

: This is the amount of $ in a trade or an exchange platform.

• Trading Volume

: Trading volume is the amount of $ in a trade pair per 24 hours; it is used to differentiate between a bot trade or a genuine trade

• Circulating Supply

This is the amount of token that is in the market; hodlers wallet etc out of a token total supply

The definitions are open to corrections; and you should also continue to do your own research until you understand fully.

In as much as your explanation aren't wrong, The OP cleared it up that the terminology is those they saw on coinmarketcap site and coingeko and this are not normal Fiat site so rather than dollars it's should be Bitcoin or some other crypto-currency. In between although questions are part of researching, the OP can read on it before questions.

Market Cap- total amount of money in one coin- for example bitcoin just hit a 1 Trillion market cap recently ( 885 Billion right now).

Fully Diluted Market Cap- "Fully diluted market value is what a digital asset's market cap would be if all the coins or tokens in its total supply were issued. ... finance allocated its total supply of YFI tokens within a week, which means that its market-cap-to-FDV ratio is equal to 100%" okex.com

Volume- total value of coins traded

Trading Volume- this measures the total coins traded/exchanged hands for a certain period of time

Market Dominance- the market cap of one coin over the total market of all coins ( example- bitcoin has market dominance over all coins)

Circulating Supply- As for bitcoin, this means currently there is a circulating supply of 18.5+ million coins that have been issued, with a future total circulating supply of 21 millions coins

Circulating supply should probably be broken down further. What you've described is the total amount mined so far, but that's different from the amount "circulating," which is definitely smaller. Coins are lost over time, irretrievably. And Satoshi has about 1 million coins that have never been moved and some expect may never be moved.  Those aren't part of the circulating supply for any practical purposes.

How would you categorize Satoshi's bags of bitcoin then? It's already part of the circulating supply as far as I can tell. It's already out there and it can be move or sold at any point in time. There is no locking mechanism that prevents him from selling it unlike some tokens over other networks.

Those coins that are declared lost aren't lost permanently also. Some people say it's possible to access them again using super computers that may come out in the future. There's also the possibility of "miraculously" finding the private keys or seed phrase.
