āļø More stable market
āļø Better prices for entering and exiting positions
š¹ 3. Where to check liquidity?
On CEX exchanges ā look at trading volume and market depth for a specific pair (e.g., BTC/USDT).
On DEX platforms ā check TVL (Total Value Locked) and the size of the liquidity pool (e.g., on Uniswap).
