Depth chart is a specific Trading coordinate in the Bitcoin knowledge graph. In practical terms, it identifies the subject described here: A cumulative view of bids and asks that visualizes available order-book liquidity. This definition is narrower than promotional usage and should be read together with the implementation, date and evidence attached to the entry.
Depth chart is best understood as part of a system rather than as an isolated definition. Its related coordinates show the mechanisms, incentives and historical records that give the term practical meaning.
Depth chart describes how participants value, trade or obtain exposure to bitcoin. Market behavior can affect adoption and mining economics, but it does not rewrite consensus rules. Price evidence and protocol evidence answer different questions.
Understanding Depth chart helps distinguish a verifiable Bitcoin mechanism or historical record from slogans, products and market narratives.
Primary or authoritative records make these details checkable: a depth chart aggregates displayed limit orders by price on bid and ask sides at a timestamp, showing quoted cumulative quantity rather than completed trades or guaranteed executable liquidity. They should be verified before using the coordinate in analysis.
The practical limit is: orders can be cancelled, hidden, spoofed or consumed before execution; charts differ by venue, currency and aggregation, and visible depth does not include market impact across fragmented exchanges. A definition, office, chart pattern or published claim is not by itself a prediction or Bitcoin consensus rule.
For the clearest picture, read this entry together with Market depth, Order book, Support and resistance, Bid–ask spread, Slippage, Bitcoin. The reverse links also lead from Market depth.
