💡 Crypto 23:💰 Bid vs Ask: The Two Prices You Must Know
Every market has two prices - the bid and the ask. Understanding this is fundamental to trading! 📊
Bid Price = What buyers are willing to pay 🟢
• The highest price someone will buy RIGHT NOW
• If you want to sell immediately, you get the bid price
• Always lower than the ask
Ask Price = What sellers are willing to accept 🔴
• The lowest price someone will sell RIGHT NOW
• If you want to buy immediately, you pay the ask price
• Always higher than the bid
The Spread = Ask - Bid
• Small spread = healthy, liquid market
• Large spread = illiquid, risky market
Example (BTC/USDT):
Bid: $50,000 | Ask: $50,010 | Spread: $10
• Buy now: pay $50,010
• Sell now: receive $50,000
• Market maker keeps the spread
Pro Tip: Use limit orders to avoid paying the spread! 🎯
