According to financial analysis experts at Investopedia, traders often estimate asset valuations using the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method and Earnings Multiplier models such as the Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio, adjusted for growth and risk (source: Investopedia, 2024). For stocks, these methods assess future cash flows or earnings potential to determine fair value, which can signal buy or sell opportunities. In the cryptocurrency market, while pure DCF is less common due to volatility and lack of traditional cash flows, similar principles are applied to projects with revenue streams, such as blockchain platforms and DeFi protocols. Knowing these valuation tools can help traders identify mispriced assets and anticipate shifts that impact both stock and crypto markets.
