Bitcoin’s market depth — the real buffer that absorbs large buy and sell orders — is still over 30% below its October peak. That means the order books are thin, not broken… but fragile.
The last time liquidity thinned this much was after the FTX collapse. Price didn’t move because of massive volume — it moved because there was nothing to resist it.
When liquidity is this low:
• Small flows create outsized moves • Volatility returns without warning • Price reacts faster than sentiment
This isn’t about direction. It’s about sensitivity.
In a thin market, liquidity — not news — becomes the trigger.
