Resistance is a price level where selling pressure prevents price from rising further.
Restaking is the practice of pledging already-staked assets (e.g., staked ETH or Liquid Staking Tokens) as security for additional protocols or services, in exchange for extra rewards. The same capital secures multiple things at once.
The risk-reward ratio compares potential loss to potential profit in a trade.
ROI, or Return on Investment, measures how much profit or loss an investment generates relative to the original amount invested.
Runes is a fungible token protocol on Bitcoin, designed as a more efficient alternative to BRC-20. It uses Bitcoin's native UTXO model to track token balances directly, without requiring inscriptions or off-chain indexers to interpret JSON.
Scalping is a short-term trading style focused on making many small profits from small price movements, often within minutes or even seconds.
Central hub on the CEX where you manage passwords, 2FA, anti-phishing codes, login alerts, and device management.
A shared sequencer is a decentralized network of nodes that orders transactions on behalf of multiple Layer 2 rollups simultaneously. Rather than each rollup running its own centralized sequencer, they share an external ordering layer to enable cross-rollup composability and resist censorship.
The difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual executed price, usually due to volatility or low liquidity.
A smart contract is self-executing code stored on a blockchain that automatically performs actions when certain conditions are met.
A sniping bot is automated software that monitors blockchains or mempools for specific events — new token launches, liquidity additions, price thresholds — and submits transactions to act on them faster than a human could, often within the same block.
A soulbound token (SBT) is a non-transferable token tied permanently to a single wallet ("soul"). Unlike a normal NFT or ERC-20, an SBT cannot be sold or sent to another address — it represents an identity-linked credential, achievement, or membership.
Buying or selling cryptocurrencies for immediate delivery and settlement at the current market price (you own the actual asset).
The default wallet on a CEX for holding and trading spot-market cryptocurrencies.
The spread is the difference between the highest bid and lowest ask price in an order book.
A cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value, usually pegged 1:1 to fiat like USD (e.g., USDT, USDC).
The process of actively participating in transaction validation on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain. Participants lock up (or 'stake') their cryptocurrency holdings to support network security and operations, earning rewards in return, similar to earning interest.
A stop hunt is a price move that pushes into areas where many stop-loss orders are likely placed, triggers those stops, and then reverses direction. It is often linked to liquidity-seeking behavior in the market.
A conditional order that combines a stop price (trigger) and a limit price (execution range). Once the market reaches the stop price, it activates as a limit order that only executes at the specified limit price or better.
Conditional orders that automatically close a position at a preset price to limit losses (SL) or lock in gains (TP). Often combined as bracket or OCO orders.
