Equilibrium

The equilibrium price of an asset is the price at which supply meets demand. A depth chart is useful for determining where market participants set the relative equilibrium of a particular asset. Equilibrium is assumed to exist in a state of normal competition amongst firms. A market in equilibrium is characterized by three properties: actors behave rationally, actors behave consistently, and equilibrium is dynamic in response to changes in the market.
