#Liquidity101 💧– The Lifeblood of Any Market
Ever tried selling a coin but no one's buying? That’s a liquidity problem.
🔍 What is Liquidity?
Liquidity = How quickly and easily you can buy or sell an asset without affecting its price too much.
🔹 High Liquidity = Many buyers and sellers, smooth trading, tighter spreads.
🔹 Low Liquidity = Fewer participants, more slippage, price jumps.
📈 Example:
BTC on Binance = High liquidity
New altcoin on a small DEX = Low liquidity
💥 Why It Matters:
• You get better prices (lower spreads)
• Faster trades
• Less price manipulation
• More confidence for big investors
📊 Tip:
Always check the order book and 24h volume before placing a large trade. In low-liquidity markets, even a small order can shift the price.
⚠️ Reminder:
Liquidity can vanish during major news events or market crashes — plan your exits ahead of time.
