2. Price Deviation Limits for Cryptocurrency Orders
To prevent extreme market volatility, exchanges enforce price deviation limits:
- Buy Orders: Cannot exceed 120% of the latest market price.
- Sell Orders: Cannot fall below 80% of the latest market price.
Example:
If BTC/USD is trading at 70,000 USD:
- A buy order above 84,000 USD (120% of 70,000) will be rejected.
- A sell order below 56,000 USD (80% of 70,000) will be rejected.
