▌What is market depth in cryptocurrencies?

In cryptocurrency trading, market depth describes the market's ability to absorb large orders without significantly affecting the price.

It is a liquidity indicator that shows the number of buy and sell orders for a given cryptocurrency at different price points. So, how is market depth displayed? Depth charts are typically used to illustrate this data. One side plots buy orders (bids), and the other side plots sell orders (asks), reflecting price levels.
