What is Liquidity?

Basics

How quickly you can sell an asset at a fair price without moving the price.

Think of it like: Cash is water: it flows instantly. A house is ice: it takes time to melt into cash.
Real example: EUR/USD is so liquid you can trade millions in a second. Selling a used car can take a week.
Lesson: Your emergency fund
