The crypto market read as an industry rather than a ticker: the trade records prices are quoted from and the volume figures beside them, the claims a project makes before anyone can check them, and the rules that decide who may advertise to whom. Less about what prices did than about how far the evidence behind them can be trusted — what a trading indicator actually computes and how volume gets invented.
