💧 – The Lifeblood of Any Market
Have you ever tried to sell a coin only to find no one’s buying? That’s a liquidity issue.
🔍 What is liquidity?
Liquidity measures how easily you can buy or sell an asset without causing big price changes.
🔹 High Liquidity = Lots of buyers & sellers → smoother trading, tight spreads.
🔹 Low Liquidity = Fewer participants → bigger slippage & price jumps.
📈 Example:
BTC on Binance → High liquidity
A new altcoin on a small DEX → Low liquidity
💥 Why Liquidity Matters:
• Better prices (smaller spreads)
• Faster order execution
• Less price manipulation
• Greater confidence for large investors
📊 Tip:
Before placing a big order, check the order book and 24h volume. In low-liquidity markets, even a small order can move the price a lot.
⚠️ Heads up:
Liquidity can dry up fast during news events or market crashes — always plan your exits in advance.
