What are liquidity gaps and why are they important for traders?
At first glance, a token may seem attractive: a good idea, low price, recent growth. But the hidden threat is liquidity.
💧 Liquidity is how easily you can buy or sell an asset without significantly impacting the price.
📉 A liquidity gap is an area in the order book where there are no or very few buy/sell orders. Because of this, even a small order can sharply move the price, causing a 'dump' or 'pump'.
🚨 Example: you buy a token for $500, but due to a liquidity gap, the price suddenly increases by 10-20% — and you end up paying more than you expected.
💡 How to check a token's liquidity?
- Go to the trading pair on Binance.
- Open the order book.
- Look at the volumes and the distance between price levels.
📊 Trading low-liquidity assets = high risk. Study not only the chart but also the market depth.
