# Liquidity trend

The Liquidity trend box shows how much [USDT](https://docs.p2pprice.app/glossary/) was in active offers over time. It updates when you change the time range, currency, or [CEX](https://docs.p2pprice.app/glossary/) filter.

## What you see

The chart has time on the horizontal axis. The vertical axis shows the total USDT available in offers at each point in time.

A higher value means more USDT was available. A lower value means fewer offers were open.

## How to read the chart

[Liquidity](https://docs.p2pprice.app/glossary/) means how much of an asset is available to trade at any moment. More liquidity usually means better conditions for traders.

Here is what the chart shape tells you:

- **Rising line**: more USDT is entering the market. The market is getting deeper.
- **Falling line**: fewer offers are available. The market is getting thinner.
- **Flat line**: the amount of available USDT is staying roughly the same.

## What filters apply

The chart follows three filters you set at the top of the page:

- **Time range**: the chart covers only the period you selected.
- **Currency**: the chart shows offers in your chosen currency only (for example, SAR or USD).
- **CEX**: the chart covers the one exchange you selected (for example, Binance).

Change any filter and the chart refreshes right away.

## How a beginner can use it

1. Pick a currency and a CEX from the filters.
2. Look at the direction of the line. Is it going up, going down, or staying flat?
3. A rising line means more USDT is available. That is usually a good time to trade, especially for large amounts.
4. A falling line means offers are drying up. You may find fewer choices or get worse prices on a big order.

Use this chart before you trade to get a quick sense of market depth for your pair.
