Liquidity
Liquidity is how easily an asset can be bought or sold without moving its price, and how much cash is circulating in a market.
Why It Matters
Prices hold up while liquidity is present and fall quickly when it withdraws, which is why liquidity conditions matter as much as fundamentals in a sell-off.
