Order Book and Market Depth are important tools for traders to understand market conditions. You can analyze market buy and sell forces through this information to determine trading timing. Here are the steps to view the order book and market depth on BitTap:
-
Log in to Your BitTap Account
First, log in to BitTap using your account credentials. If you don’t have an account, you’ll need to register and complete identity verification (KYC).
-
Go to the Spot Trading Page
After logging in, navigate to BitTap's spot trading page. Here, you can see prices, the order book, and other market information for various cryptocurrency trading pairs.
-
Select the Trading Pair You Want to View
On the spot trading page, choose the cryptocurrency trading pair you wish to view. For example, you can select BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, etc. This will open the market details page for that trading pair.
-
View the Order Book
The order book shows all current buy and sell orders in the market, including prices and quantities. Typically, the order book is divided into two parts:
- Buy Orders (Green): Shows all orders in the market willing to buy cryptocurrency at a specific price, arranged from low to high.
- Sell Orders (Red): Shows all orders in the market willing to sell cryptocurrency at a specific price, arranged from high to low.
In BitTap's trading interface, you can clearly see the buy and sell orders, as well as the corresponding prices and quantities.
-
View Market Depth
The market depth chart displays a comparison of buying and selling forces in the market, visually showing cumulative buy and sell order quantities at different price points. This helps you determine whether there is enough liquidity to support large trades or if there is significant buying or selling pressure.
- Buy Depth: Shows the quantity of buy orders in the current market, typically represented by a green curve.
- Sell Depth: Shows the quantity of sell orders in the current market, typically represented by a red curve.
The smoother the depth chart curve, the better the market liquidity and lower the volatility. If there is a sudden peak at a particular price point, it may indicate significant buy or sell pressure at that level.

Using the Order Book and Market Depth for Analysis

- Support and Resistance Levels: If there are large buy orders at a specific price, it may indicate strong support at that price. Similarly, a large volume of sell orders may indicate resistance.
- Market Liquidity: Observing market depth allows you to determine if there is sufficient liquidity. A large number of orders in the order book with evenly distributed prices indicates good market liquidity.
- Buying and Selling Pressure: The market depth chart can help you gauge current buying or selling pressure, helping you decide the timing for buying or selling.

- Order Book: Shows current buy and sell orders in the market, helping you understand market supply and demand.
