Price Range Management
Price range management is the active process of selecting and adjusting the bounds within which liquidity is provided in a concentrated liquidity model. Because liquidity only earns fees when the market price is within the chosen range, providers must monitor price trends and volatility to ensure their capital remains productive.
If the price moves out of the range, the provider's position becomes idle, effectively holding only the less valuable asset of the pair. This requires sophisticated strategies, often involving automated tools or rebalancing algorithms to shift ranges as market conditions change.
Successful range management balances the desire for high fee generation with the risk of holding depreciating assets. It is a key factor in the professionalization of liquidity provision in DeFi.
