How to read a crypto market table
Rank, price, percent changes, volume, and market cap are the same columns every serious terminal uses. Here is what each one actually tells you.

A market table is a snapshot, not a recommendation. BoreDash ranks coins the way public market indexes do: by reported U.S. dollar market cap, then lets you sort any other column. Nothing on the row is a buy or sell signal.
Rank (#) is the live market-cap position. It moves when price or circulating supply changes. A coin can jump ten ranks in a day without any new product news — that is just the tape.
Price is the last aggregated USD print from the public market feed. It is not a bid you can hit on BoreDash. This site does not route orders.
1h / 24h / 7d / 30d are percent changes over those windows. Short windows are noisy. A +40% 1h print on a thin coin often mean-reverts. Use 7d and 30d to see whether a move is a spike or a trend.
24h volume is how much USD changed hands. High volume next to a small market cap can mean the print is real. Tiny volume next to a huge percent move usually means the print is not.
Market cap is price × circulating supply. It is the standard size comparison. It is not “how much money is in the coin.”
