#Liquidity101 The Lifeblood of Every Market
Ever tried trading a coin and got wrecked on execution—or couldn’t sell fast enough?
That’s liquidity (or lack of it) flexing on you.
What Is Liquidity, Anyway?
It’s how quickly (and smoothly) you can buy or sell an asset without moving the price too much.
High liquidity = fast trades, minimal slippage.
Low liquidity = delays, bad fills, bigger losses.
Why Should You Care?
Tighter bid-ask spreads
Instant execution (no lag)
Price stability
Lower slippage — huge for mobile traders
Examples:
Micro-cap altcoins = often ghost towns 👻
How to Check Liquidity Like a Pro:
Look at:
Order book depth
24h trading volume
Bid-ask spread
Thick books + tight spreads = smooth trading.
Pro Tip:
Never use market orders on illiquid tokens.
You’ll get wrecked by slippage in seconds.
For Mobile Traders:
Liquidity is your airbag.
Check it before you tap that “Buy” or “Sell” button.
