Pool liquidity
How much can be sold before the price moves against you
What it is
On a decentralized exchange, trades happen against a pool of tokens rather than another trader. The pool's size sets how much can be sold before the price drops. A thin pool means a modest sell moves the chart a long way.
What it may suggest
It decides whether a position can actually be exited near the price on screen. Two tokens with identical charts and very different pool sizes are not comparable positions.
Where it fails
None of this is on the price chart. A token with almost no liquidity draws the same clean candles as a deep one, and the difference only shows up when you try to sell. ChartPeak reads charts from photographs, so it cannot see pool size and does not guess at it.
Also called liquidity pool, pool depth, thin liquidity, slippage.
