  Absolutely! You can use JavaScript functions to track changes in cryptocurrency prices. One approach is to use an API like 'CoinMarketCap' or 'CryptoCompare' to fetch the latest prices and store them in variables. Then, you can set up a timer or an event listener to periodically fetch the prices again and compare them with the previous values. If there's a change, you can trigger a notification or update your UI accordingly. Remember to handle errors and implement proper error handling to ensure the reliability of your tracking system.

  Definitely! JavaScript functions can be used to track changes in cryptocurrency prices. One way to do this is by using WebSocket connections to cryptocurrency exchanges. These connections allow you to receive real-time updates on price changes directly from the exchange. You can then process the data and update your UI or trigger any necessary actions. Keep in mind that you'll need to handle authentication and subscribe to the relevant channels to receive the price updates. Additionally, make sure to check the exchange's API documentation for any rate limits or restrictions.
