Liquidity
The ease with which an asset can be bought or sold without significantly affecting its price. Higher liquidity means tighter spreads and more efficient trading.
Resistance
A price level at which a cryptocurrency has historically had difficulty breaking above. When an asset approaches a resistance level, selling pressure tends to increase. If the price breaks through resistance, it can signal a strong uptrend.
Support Level
A price level at which a cryptocurrency has historically found buying interest, preventing it from falling further. Traders watch support levels closely โ if the price falls below a strong support, it may signal further downside.
