Thinning liquidity describes a market condition where the number of buyers and sellers for an asset decreases, leading to fewer available orders and wider bid-ask spreads. This reduction in market depth makes it harder to execute large trades without significantly impacting the asset’s price. It signifies reduced market participation. Such conditions precede increased price volatility.
