What is a market maker? How do they provide liquidity to the market by continuously offering buy and sell quotes, and what risks do they take on?

In the cryptocurrency market, traders need someone to sell when they want to buy, and someone to buy when they want to sell. By continuously offering buy and sell prices, market makers help create more continuous quotes, reduce waiting times for some trades, and improve market liquidity.

First, what is a market maker?

Market makers typically place buy and sell orders in the market at the same time. For example, if an asset has a buy quote of 100 U

#美国10月CPI即将公布 #BTC Bitcoin at $73,416: Inflation Has Changed the Fed Outlook, but Has Buying Demand Returned?

Bitcoin is now facing a different market environment from the one traders expected before the October CPI announcement. The inflation report has arrived, the bond market has reacted sharply, and expectations for another Federal Reserve rate increase have strengthened.

BTC is trading around $73,416** in the latest price snapshot I am using. The important question is no longer simply whether Bitcoin can bounce from $73,000. It is whether buyers have enough conviction to absorb selling

The point Jesus is making is simple. You have an obligation to follow his commandments and do good works.
Good works don’t earn your place in heaven but failing to fulfill your obligations means you forfeit
heaven.
Jesus repeatedly warns against failing to do the Father’s will.

What Is an Iceberg Order? How Can It Hide Part of an Order’s Size and Reduce the Visible Market Impact of Large Trades?

In cryptocurrency trading, placing a very large order directly on the order book may allow other market participants to infer the trader’s intentions, affecting prices and execution conditions. Iceberg orders reduce how much of the full order is exposed at once by displaying only part of the order size and replenishing the displayed quantity after it is filled.

First, how do iceberg orders work?

Suppose you plan to buy 100 BTC but display only 10 BTC at a time. Once the di

The market structure has experienced a definitive bearish shift; after consolidating near the highs, price broke down aggressively from the 1,199 level, establishing a new lower low at 994.98. This sharp displacement confirms that sellers have taken control of the immediate trend, breaking the previous bullish rhythm.

The K-lines tell a story of a volatility expansion followed by a compression phase. We saw a massive impulsive red candle that pierced the lower Bollinger Band, followed by a period of "choppy" consolidation where the price is struggling to recover. Currently, the price

Why Can’t Stop-Loss Orders Completely Prevent Losses? Understanding Slippage, Liquidity, and Execution Mechanisms

In cryptocurrency trading, many people believe that setting a stop-loss will keep losses within a predetermined range. But in actual trading, prices can move rapidly, and stop-loss orders may execute at a worse price than expected. Understanding the limitations of stop-loss orders is essential for managing risk more effectively.

First, distinguish between the stop price and the final execution price. The stop price is simply the condition that activates the stop-loss mechanism; i

Understand DeFi Protocols: Don’t Just Focus on APY—Where Do Returns Come From, and Who Bears the Risk?

In DeFi (decentralized finance), one question is easy to overlook: when a protocol advertises an attractive annual percentage yield, where exactly does that yield come from?

APY is simply a way of displaying results; it does not, on its own, prove that a protocol is worth participating in.

To assess whether a DeFi protocol is sustainable, consider these four aspects.

1. Where do the returns come from?

Returns may come from interest paid by borrowers, trading fees, liquidity incentives, o
