Market Microstructure Responsiveness

Meaning

Market Microstructure Responsiveness refers to the rapidity and extent to which the fundamental structure of a market, including its order book depth, bid-ask spreads, and available liquidity, adjusts in reaction to novel information, order flow pressure, or external stimuli. Its objective is to quantify the efficiency and predictability of market condition adaptation, thereby directly impacting trading costs, execution quality, and the efficacy of algorithmic strategies within digital asset markets.
