What is the bottom for a crypto asset?

The bottom is the lowest price level of a crypto asset, after which the price of this asset is expected to rise.

The bottom is not always an absolute measure for the entire history of the existence of an asset, but can be calculated for a certain period: a year, a quarter or a month.

How to identify the bottom

  • Each trader has his own set of tools to determine when to buy an asset.
    Here are some of the most clearest signs to each of us:
    There is a protracted flat with the upper border breakdowns
    The movement occurs in a strong support zone and is accompanied by high volumes
    The order book contains big bid checks
    Good news on the market or the project
    The price is lower than the sale price (ICO, IEO, IDO etc.)
    The bottom we search for is not a new all-time bottom

Protracted flat with the upper border breakout


If you observe that for a long time: 2 weeks, 1 month, - the price is at the same level, while occasionally trying to “break out” up, that is, the resistance line is broken, then this is in 90% of cases - the impulse to the rapid growth of prices.

However, if the breakout is more often than just the support level, then get ready to test a new bottom.

Strong support zone and high side volumes


Determine that there is a strong support zone at this level, that is, it met more than 3 times on the chart for the period under study and is supported by good horizontal volumes (Volume indicator).

Display the VPVR (Volume Profile Visible Range) indicator on the same period on the screen and evaluate whether the maximum vertical volumes for the selected period are at this level.

Big average checks


If you observe volumes above average with a “small” candle body, then there are purchases at the same price for a large amount.

This may indicate "big checks" or high market density.

To confirm the existence of “big checks”, you can refer to the order book and make sure that there are real bid orders for large amounts.

Fundamental prerequisites


As an extra springboard from the bottom, news resources can:

Issue positive analytics from experts on this asset
Record the activity of major players - funds
Report new technologies that have been released or are about to be released by the project
Share the conditions for large investments in the project by large funds, etc.

Price analysis for IDO, ICO and Private Sale


If the project token or coin appeared on the market following one of the popular types of crowdfunding: ICO, IEO or IDO, the most popular one, then you need to compare the Public Sale price with the current price.

If the current price is below the Public Sale price of the IDO, then you can put this in another checkbox on your checklist as a sign of a potential bottom.

If the IDO price was lower, then this is not a bottom, there are still a large number of investors on the market who bought the coin at a lower price, which means they can sell it cheaper.

Our bottom is not a new all-time bottom


As we noted earlier, a support line is formed at the level of the potential bottom.

If the price has never dropped so low in the history of the asset, then we cannot build a support zone, which means that the price can go even lower and find many new bottoms.
