#Liquidity101 : The Most Overlooked Factor in Your Trades

You’ve done your TA. Set your targets. Hit “Buy” — and boom, you’re filled at a price that makes zero sense.

Sound familiar? That’s not just volatility — that’s liquidity.

🔹 What is liquidity?

It’s the ability to quickly buy or sell an asset without affecting its price too much.

It’s what separates smooth scalping from accidental pump-and-dumps.

🔹 High liquidity

– Tight bid-ask spread

– Fast execution

– Minimal slippage

Great for major pairs like BTC/USDT or ETH/BUSD.

🔹 Low liquidity

– Wide spread

– Slower fills

– You move the market with large orders

That’s where most traders get wrecked — especially on small-cap gems.

💡 Pro Tip:

Before you enter a trade, ask yourself:

👉 “Can I get out without panic-selling into the void?”

📈 Want better trades? Don’t just chart candles — chart the depth.

The deeper the pool, the safer your swim. 🐻💧
