💧 What is liquidity and why is it important in cryptocurrency?
#Liquidity101
Liquidity is one of the key terms that every trader and investor should understand.
🔹 Liquidity is the ability of an asset to be quickly bought or sold without a significant change in price.
📈 Example:
If a coin has high liquidity - you can buy/sell a large volume almost at market price.
If liquidity is low - even a small order can "move" the price, and you will get an unfavorable rate.
💡 Types of liquidity:
1. Exchange liquidity - how many orders are in the order book, how quickly they are executed.
2. Market liquidity - the total trading volume of the asset across all platforms.
⚠️ Low liquidity = high risk:
Difficult to enter/exit a position;
Increased volatility;
Potential price manipulation.
