Buy Side
The portion of the order book listing aggregated buy orders at various price levels.
What is Buy Side?
In an order book, the buy side displays all open bids in green, sorted from highest to lowest price, representing total buyer demand at each level. On Young Platform, it’s the lower section, showing sums like 20 BTC at $60,000 from multiple orders. This side reflects institutional and retail buying interest, with deeper buy sides indicating stronger liquidity.
The buy side contrasts with the sell side, with the spread in between. In depth charts, it’s the green bid line showing cumulative value. Large buy sides can form walls, supporting prices at levels like $59,500 for BTC.
