Diminishing Liquidity

Definition

Diminishing liquidity refers to a market condition characterized by reduced trading volume and decreased depth for an asset. This situation implies fewer buyers and sellers are present, making it harder to execute large orders without significantly affecting the price. When liquidity declines, price volatility can increase, and the difference between buying and selling prices often expands. It indicates a reduction in market participation and can signal decreasing investor interest or heightened uncertainty.
