💧 #Liquidity101 — What is liquidity and why is it important?
📈 Liquidity is the ability of an asset to be quickly sold or bought without a significant change in price.
🔹 High liquidity:
Many buyers and sellers
Small spreads between bid/ask
Minimal slippage
Example: BTC, ETH, Apple stocks
🔸 Low liquidity:
Few participants in the market
Large spreads
Difficult to buy/sell a large volume without impacting the price
Example: new tokens, penny stocks
📊 Why is liquidity important for a trader?
✅ Fast order execution
✅ Less loss on slippage
✅ More price stability
✅ Easier to exit positions in crisis moments
🧠 Tip:
Before trading, check the volume and market depth. High liquidity = fewer surprises.
