Right so from my understanding, and from listening to the people on the forum here, you need to read into the coin you want to buy etc.. However so many altcoins just had a pump yesterday, is it even the right time to buy now? And how do you choose an altcoin you want to read in to and possibly buy?
Do you scan coinmarketcap.com? If so, what do you look for?
If coins have pumped then thats probably wrong time to invest into them because if you invest at that period then you will probably loose profit margins that you may get when they are not pumped lot.
Yes, coinmarketcap is good site to seek for the trade data regarding your choice of coin. I will probably look for prices fluctuation and most important how much market cap is increased or decreased. Thats the most close factor which decides the price of particular coin.
