### Step 2.&#x20;

**Opt for a Pool of your interest**. Draw focus toward a coin of your choice and a pool “**Status**” to see if it is active for adding **Bids**. One can find more details on a pool's possible statuses in the "**Pool Statuses**" section below.&#x20;

### Step 3.&#x20;

**Take a close look at the Pool details**. Analyze "Liquidity pool" and "Total pool distribution" to see how much funds are already invested in the pool and the total distribution of invested money within the pool.

### Step 4.&#x20;

**Benchmark other users' forecasts in the pool**. This way, you can better comprehend how other users estimate a coin price shift.
