I have been messing around in bittrix for a few days now experimenting with day/swing trading for the first time. I understand how new information coming out can greatly effect prices via news articles and even tweets sometimes. What im having trouble understanding is coins that seem like they're doing nothing in the market for days/weeks/months will then jump up in value 20,30 or 40% without to my knowledge any news coming out or external reason for the jump in price.

I see this is all sorts of coins but for example adtoken (ADT) last Monday (July 23) had that big jump up in price. Now today very recently has had a small jump up. I'm still new to this and have a lot to learn but any tips or advice on this topic will go a long way.


Edit: i have since learned adt was added to Upbit last monday and hence the jump in price. ( i guess it was a bad example)

Hi! I'm new to the forum and just wanted to start with saying how helpful this place has been in getting me started in cryptocurrency.

I've only just started to scratch the surface of the crypto world and already I feel miles ahead of where i was only a week back.

I very recently just put my first few extra bucks into Bitcoin as a means of kicking things off and I was wondering if anyone who has been around for awhile had any wisdom they could share about perhaps something they wish they knew starting off or where they should have been focusing their efforts most.
