  A depth chart is a graphical representation of the order book for a particular cryptocurrency. It shows the quantity of buy and sell orders at different price levels. Traders can use the depth chart to assess the liquidity of a market and determine the potential impact of their trades. For example, if the depth chart shows a large number of buy orders at a specific price level, it suggests that there is sufficient demand to support a buy order of a certain size without significantly impacting the price. On the other hand, if there are few buy orders and a large number of sell orders at a certain price level, it indicates that selling pressure may outweigh buying interest, making it more difficult to execute a large buy order without causing the price to increase. By understanding the depth chart, traders can better plan their trades and minimize slippage.
