what is liquidity? ๐ค
Imagine you're at a local vegetable market. You want to buy 5 kg of tomatoes.
๐ In a big market, lots of sellers = high liquidity. You can easily get 5 kg at a fair price.
๐๏ธ In a small village shop, only one seller = low liquidity. You may get only 2 kg, and at a higher price.
Now replace tomatoes with Bitcoin (BTC) or any coin.
๐On a high-liquidity coin, your order fills fast at your expected price.
๐On a low-liquidity coin, it fills slowly, and at a worse price = slippage ๐
๐ง Understanding Liquidity in Crypto Trading! ๐น
Liquidity is ๐ when it comes to smooth crypto trades! It refers to how easily you can buy or sell a coin without impacting its price too much. Higher liquidity = tighter spreads, faster execution, and lower slippage ๐
Before entering a position, always check: ๐ Order book depth
๐ 24h trading volume
๐งพ Bid-ask spread
To reduce slippage:
โ Trade during high-volume hours
โ Use limit orders instead of market orders
โ Stick to high-liquidity pairs like BTC/USDT or ETH/BUSD
Trade smart, not hard ๐ก
