Why did my sell order not execute?

I placed a sell order for a stock, but it didn't go through. I'm wondering why my order didn't execute even though the market price reached the level I set. Could there be any specific reasons for this? Why did my sell order not execute?

One reason could be due to a lack of market liquidity.

Even if the price hits your limit, there might not be enough buyers or sellers available to match your order.

This scenario is more common in low-volume stocks or contracts.

In such cases, the market might not have enough participants to fulfill your order at the specified price.
