💧 #Liquidity101 – Why It Matters More Than You Think
In crypto trading, liquidity is everything. But what is it, really?
📖 Liquidity = How easily an asset can be bought or sold without affecting its price.
Think of it as the speed and smoothness of a trade.
🔹 High Liquidity:
• Tight bid-ask spreads
• Fast order execution
• Less slippage
🟢 Found in major pairs like BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC.
🔸 Low Liquidity:
• Wide spreads
• Price jumps with small trades
• More volatility
🔴 Common in obscure altcoins or low-volume tokens.
📊 Why Traders Care:
• Scalpers need instant execution
• Whales want to avoid price impact
• Everyone wants fair, stable pricing
🔐 Pro Tip: Always check a pair’s 24h volume and order book depth before entering a trade.
