What cheap crypto should i buy now

Screening Filters

1. Price: min $0.01, max $10

   • Purpose: Find cheap coins in absolute price terms.
   • Rationale:
     • User asked for “cheap crypto,” which most people interpret as low nominal price per coin.
     • The lower bound of $0.01 avoids near-worthless “dust” tokens that can be illiquid or abandoned.
     • The upper bound of $10 caps the search to relatively low-priced coins, excluding high-priced majors like BTC or ETH.

2. Market Cap: min $150,000,000

   • Purpose: Avoid extremely small, highly speculative or scam-prone projects.
   • Rationale:
     • Very low market-cap coins (micro/nano caps) can be easily manipulated and are more likely to fail or rug pull.
     • A minimum market cap of $150M keeps the search in the “smaller but somewhat established” segment—still speculative, but with a higher likelihood of real projects and active communities.

3. 24h Turnover (Trading Volume): min $10,000,000

   • Purpose: Ensure liquidity so you can realistically buy and sell without huge slippage.
   • Rationale:
     • The user wants something to buy now; that requires enough daily trading activity.
     • A $10M+ 24h turnover threshold helps filter out dead or illiquid coins where orders might not fill or might move the market too much.

4. 1-Month Price Change (%): min -5%, max +100%

   • Purpose: Avoid both collapsing coins and already-parabolic “chase-the-pump” situations.
   • Rationale:
     • Minimum -5%: excludes coins that are crashing hard (e.g., -30%, -50%), which can indicate serious fundamental or liquidity problems. A small decline is allowed to include mildly out-of-favor or consolidating names.
     • Maximum +100%: removes coins that have already doubled or more in the last month and may be overheated or near a blow-off top, reducing the risk of buying the peak.

Why Results Match Your Request

• The price filter directly targets “cheap” cryptos.
• The market cap and volume filters balance “cheap” with a minimum standard of quality and tradability, making it more realistic to actually invest.
• The 1-month performance filter focuses on coins that haven’t just crashed nor already gone vertical, giving a more balanced risk/reward profile for “what to buy now.”
