Cryptocurrency trading is a new, and growing, feature of the crypto world. Trading is separate from crypto’s use as a monetary system.

Through instructions in their source codes, cryptocurrencies automatically adjust to the amount of mining power working to create new blockchain copies — copies become more difficult to create as mining power increases and easier to create as mining power decreases.
Identical copies of the blockchain are stored in every node of the cryptocurrency’s software network — the network of decentralized server farms, run by computer-savvy individuals or groups of individuals known as miners, that continually record and authenticate cryptocurrency transactions.

Wavelets are wavelike functions used to transform signals into a representation which has time and frequency domain components. Visually wavelets appear as wave-like oscillations with an amplitude that starts at zero, increases, then returns to zero. Another way to consider a wavelet is as a bandpass filter, which can be applied to a time series under investigation, letting through only components of the time series within a finite range of frequencies to different extents depending on the energy spectrum of the wavelet. Wavelets take the form:
