Can someone explain me what makes a coin go up or down in price?

Let's say you have a shitcoin at $1 with a $100 million market cap. So logic would dictate that if $100 million more entered that market cap it would go to $2.

But if that's the case how come the buyers and sellers determine the price? What if that same $1 shitcoin releases some news that its partnering with Apple and buyers start offering at $4, and people start buying at that price, but the market cap is still around $100 million, so what the fuck, which one is it?

Market cap would be 400Mil then
>>
supply and demand

Nooo, the market cap in the example is $100 mil and price is $1, the news comes out and the next minute the sellers start selling at $4, that jump set by the sellers doesn't makes the market cap increase in $300 million in an instant...
>>
>>3240293
hence why it's called supply and DEMAND
if no one buys it at 4 dollars it doesnt matter what sellers want for it

You fucking retard, yes it does. Market cap = supply x price

but we assume they start buying because of the news. So if the market cap was $100 million, then news comes out, then sellers set $4 as the new price and someone buys, are you stupid enough to tell me the new market cap is $400 million a minute later?

Leave now. If you ever start trading I can guarantee you will lose everything. Stick to wagecucking, it's safer for you.

nah, I started with $14k on june and have $27k now even with the horrible bear market on july, but nice try, I still dont get this whole market cap vs supply and demand on price fluctuation bs.

Market cap means market capitalization, yes. It is literally price x shares (or coins). When you see a price shoot up stupid, market cap is your sanity check on price valuation. Finance 101 broham.

Its a market and not a company. If the price jumps from 1 to 4 yes the MARKET cap will be 400 millions. But if tomorrow your local hotdog stand starts selling a hot dog for 1 million usd, it still will not be a multi million dollar business. A market implies demand to sustain the price
