#ExplanationOfTheConcept
Reading the illustration
Visual mark Quick meaning
Green curve "Demand" Cumulative bids; the wall of buyers is just below 0.2400.
Red curve "Supply" Cumulative asks; sellers are densifying higher.
Blue lines + arrows Sequence of 5 ticks
bullish: 0.2400 → 0.2401 → … → 0.2404.
Tick size = 0.0001 USDC
Smallest allowed increment for this alt-coin.
What this small diagram shows
1. Micro-structure granularity
Each blue dot represents a single tick, the minimum movement unit.
On an alt-coin with tick size 0.0001, these five points = +0.0005 USDC.
2. Interaction with depth
As long as the ticks stay in the white "corridor" (between the large bid wall and the first block of supply), the price moves without strong resistance.
As soon as it touches the first thick red step, it will have to absorb this volume to continue.
3. Quick conversion to time
If the asset trades ~5 ticks/s (THE cadence), these 5 ticks ≈ 1 second.
If it trades ~2 ticks/s (WCT cadence), they take ≈ 2.5 s.
⇒ the same path in ticks can last more or less time depending on liquidity.
