Liquidity
Ability to buy or sell an asset fast without moving the price.
The more people are willing to trade an asset right now, the more liquid it is. In a liquid market your order doesn't move the price. In an illiquid one, even a small trade can spike a 5% candle.
// Example
BTC on Binance is highly liquid. A rank-200 altcoin almost never is.
