#Liquidity101 💧 #Liquidity101: The Lifeblood of Every Trade
If you don’t understand liquidity, you might be leaving profits on the table — or worse, getting wrecked. Let’s simplify it 👇
---
1️⃣ What Is Liquidity?
Liquidity = How easily you can buy/sell a token without big price changes.
⚖️ More buyers + sellers = smoother trades
🐌 Less liquidity = price jumps + slippage
---
2️⃣ Why Liquidity Is 🔑
✅ Instant trade execution
✅ Lower slippage
✅ Tighter spreads
✅ Easier exits during market panic
🔥 Especially crucial for large trades & volatile tokens
---
3️⃣ Where to Check Liquidity?
🔍 On CEXs:
→ Look at order book depth & 24h volume
🔍 On DEXs:
→ Check TVL, LP size, slippage %
---
4️⃣ CEX vs DEX Liquidity
🏛️ CEX: Centralized market makers = deeper liquidity
🌐 DEX: Depends on users providing liquidity (LPs) — varies by pair
---
5️⃣ Low Liquidity = High Risk
⚠️ You might:
Pay more than expected
Get stuck in illiquid tokens
Face price manipulation in thin markets
