What Is the Bid-Ask Spread? Why Can a Wider Spread Mean Higher Hidden Costs for Frequent Trading?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people focus only on fees and overlook the gap between the buy and sell prices. Even if an exchange advertises very low fees, a wide bid-ask spread may impose additional costs when traders enter and exit positions.

First, what is the bid-ask spread?

The bid-ask spread is the difference between the current best ask price and the best bid price. For example, if a coin's best bid is 99.9 USDT and its best ask is 100.1 USDT, the spread is 0.2 USDT. Relative to the mi

Net fund outflows were 27.23 million over 1D and 140 million over 3D, clearly indicating that major players are retreating. Whale data is even more telling: 692 short whales are firmly in profit, while 151 long whales were forced to cut their losses. On the 1-hour chart, the moving averages are diverging downward, the MACD has formed a death cross, and the rebound is extremely weak. The major players’ intent is to lure bulls in before continuing to liquidate longs.

When Will AI Be Able to Sustain Itself? - CoreWeave Earnings Preview
Two major events are crammed into the same day tonight: October CPI before the U.S. market open, and CoreWeave’s Q3 earnings report after the close. The former will shape rate expectations; the latter will test whether the AI computing business can bring in more than it spends.

Nasdaq surges 2.7%! Are tech stocks back—or did Wall Street just stage another fakeout?

This tech stock rebound came quite suddenly.
The market had been worried that investment in AI data centers might slow, and tech stocks faced heavy selling. The Nasdaq even suffered a brutal decline. Then, on November 9, the Nasdaq rose 2.7%, as if the panic of the previous few days had all been a collective dream.
The question is: Have tech stocks really regained investors’ favor?
I think there are two signals worth watching in this rebound.
First, investors have not completely abandoned the tech sector.

Bitcoin and Ethereum surged last night before pulling back, and the short trades moved down as expected. The overall move was not very large, but there is still some room to the downside. Ethereum at 2,150 and SOL at 88 were precise entries, with Bitcoin entered simultaneously around 75,500. Congratulations to everyone who followed the strategy and successfully captured a decent move. #美国10月CPI即将公布 #美伊谈判出现新进展

$XPL The short trade has been completed. After the 0.05250 support was decisively broken, selling pressure was confirmed. I entered a short in line with the trend, with momentum providing ideal support. This trade captured a 73% gain, booking $211.
Today I’ll be keeping a close eye on these two assets: $BTC and $INIT .
$XPL ’s upward momentum is clearly fading, and bearish sentiment is building. The price may be pushed back into the lower range, so my outlook remains bearish.
The trading plan is simple: entry range 0.05295 - 0.05321; first target 0.05050, second target 0.0484; stop-loss at 0

How much further can AVAX rise? A key question lies behind the positive news, and many investors may be overlooking it!

AVAX rose about 6.4% in a short time, and news that an NYSE-affiliated platform is adopting Avalanche technology certainly gave the market a boost.
But if you think this means all future transactions on the platform will use the AVAX token, you may be overlooking the most important detail.
The core of this partnership is Avalanche serving as the underlying ledger technology for a clearing organization, not official confirmation that all securities transactions must be settle

From November 6 to 8 local time, Takashi Yamazaki’s “Godzilla-0.0” grossed $31.61 million in its North American opening weekend, debuting at No. 1 at the North American box office and leaving the animated “The Cat in the Hat,” which opened the same day, behind.
The figure broke the 22-year-old record held by Zhang Yimou’s “Hero” for the highest opening weekend gross in North America for a live-action foreign-language film. “Hero” opened with $17.8 million, making the new film’s debut nearly double that amount.
The previous film, “Godzilla-1.0,” opened to just $11.4 million in North America in

Is Wall Street Moving to 24-Hour Stock Trading? Avalanche Is in the Spotlight as Traditional Finance Changes!

In the past, stock investors were most familiar with the opening bell, closing bell, and waiting for the next trading day.
But blockchain is trying to change that rhythm.
A tokenized securities platform affiliated with the NYSE plans to explore 24/7 trading and use Avalanche as the core ledger technology for clearing institutions. The news briefly lifted AVAX by about 6.4% and put RWA back in the market spotlight.
