In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, prices can #CryptoMarket often leaving traders wondering why. Understanding the factors that influence price movement is key to making smart investment decisions. Among these are pre-market prices, real-time trading prices, and prices driven by rumors.

Pre-Market Prices: Anticipating the Surge

While traditional stock markets have dedicated pre-market hours, crypto operates 24/7. However, certain events or anticipated announcements can lead to early speculation, much like in a stock market pre-trading period. For instance, before a major announcement like Bitcoin's ETF approval, speculative investors may drive prices up in anticipation. This results in a pre-market surge, even though there’s no dedicated “pre-market” in crypto.

Real-Time Trading: The True Market Value

The real price is the last traded price visible on exchanges like Binance or Bybit. This price represents the most up-to-date value at which the cryptocurrency is being bought or sold. In the case of HMSTRUSDT from the provided chart, the real price is 0.01025 USDT. Unlike speculative prices, this is a reflection of actual trades in real-time, giving you the best insight into the market's true valuation at that moment.

Rumor Prices: The Power of Speculation

Speculation is a powerful driver of prices in cryptocurrency. Whether it’s a rumor of institutional investment or regulatory news, these whispers can send prices soaring or crashing. Traders often act quickly on these rumors, causing the asset's price to fluctuate significantly before the real news breaks.

Example: Bitcoin’s ETF Speculation

A classic example is Bitcoin (BTC). Rumors surrounding Bitcoin's potential ETF approval by the SEC sent its price from $30,000 to $32,000, even before any official decision was made. These speculative movements reflect the crypto community's excitement or anxiety over unconfirmed news. While such speculation can lead to huge gains, it also comes with high risks, as the price may correct once the actual news is reveal.
