#CommunityAMA Increasing Volatility in Illiquid Pairs Community AMA discussions significantly impact forex by increasing volatility in illiquid or exotic currency pairs. These pairs, characterized by lower trading volumes and fewer market participants, are inherently more susceptible to price swings from even relatively small order flows. When such a pair becomes a focused topic of discussion within a large AMA community, collective retail interest can suddenly surge, leading to concentrated buying or selling pressure. This aggregated retail activity, disproportionate to the pair's usual liquidity, can cause exaggerated and rapid price movements, wider spreads, and increased slippage, transforming an otherwise stable illiquid asset into a temporarily highly volatile one, driven purely by the collective actions of the online community.
