Trading Strategies for Different Liquidity Conditions

Navigating the financial markets requires a keen understanding of liquidity conditions and their impact on trading strategies. From the bustling activity of high-liquidity markets to the more unpredictable nature of low-liquidity environments, each presents unique challenges and opportunities. This article explores three trading strategies tailored to different liquidity scenarios.

What Are Liquidity Conditions?

Liquidity conditions in financial markets refer to the ease with which assets can be bought or sold at stable prices. Essentially, it's about how quickly and efficiently a market can match buyers and sellers. High liquidity is characterised by a high volume of trading activity, where transactions can be executed swiftly without significantly impacting the asset's price. High liquidity conditions examples include major forex pairs like EUR/USD, which typically have plenty of buyers and sellers at any given price level.

Conversely, low liquidity markets might involve less frequently traded assets, like certain small-cap stocks, where finding a buyer or seller takes longer, potentially leading to more significant price fluctuations for each trade.

USD/CNH Near Key Resistance: 2025 Outlook

As shown by today’s USD/CNH chart:
→ the pair is trading around 7.35 yuan per US dollar;
→ historically, this level has acted as resistance, pushing the exchange rate lower in autumn 2022 and autumn 2023, as bulls briefly broke above but failed to sustain gains.

The current approach to this resistance level is partly driven by expectations of US President-elect Donald Trump’s policies, which in 2025 may include imposing trade tariffs and adopting measures likely to strengthen the USD further.

EBAY Share Price Jumps Over 9% in a Day

Yesterday, traders focused on:
→ labour market news, which showed a slight decrease in new unemployment claims;
→ comments from the Federal Reserve: Christopher Waller stated that inflation is expected to fall to the target rate of 2% in the medium term, and further monetary easing would be "appropriate".

However, these factors did not lead to significant changes in stock indices. The S&P 500 index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) fell by 0.12% yesterday.

The major highlight was the surge in eBay Inc. (EBAY) shares, which rose by more than 9%. This was driven by Meta Platforms (META) announcing a test launch of a new feature that would allow users in the US, France, and Germany to browse eBay products on Facebook Marketplace and complete transactions on eBay.

If the test proves successful, this feature could potentially drive a significant increase in eBay’s revenue due to a new influx of buyers.
