Read Liquidity Before Trading
Market Liquidity Explained
Before any crypto trade, three metrics shape your real cost:
- Spread — the gap between buy and sell price. Wider spread = higher entry cost.
- Depth — how much volume sits in the order book. Thin depth = price moves easily.
- Slippage — difference between expected and filled price. Larger orders in low-liquidity markets slip more.
Understanding these before you trade helps you assess execution risk — not just the chart.
