**💧 #Liquidity101: The "water" that moves the markets**
Have you ever tried to sell a token and no one bought it? That's **liquidity** (or lack of it). Let me explain quickly:
🔹 **What is it?**
The ease of buying/selling an asset **without affecting its price**.
🌊 **Liquid market (e.g., BTC on Binance):**
- Tight spreads
- Orders executed instantly
🏜️ **Illiquid market (e.g., shitcoins on DEXs):**
- Large differences between buy/sell
- Risk of slippage (final price ≠ expected price)
**Why does it matter?**
✅ More liquidity = lower costs and more stability
❌ Low liquidity = price manipulation (pump & dumps)
📌 **Tip for traders:**
- Check volume and depth chart before trading.
- In crypto, pairs with USDT or ETH tend to be more liquid.
