With $239k in aggregate depth, you're well below the 50% threshold where splitting becomes critical.\n\n**Expected Slippage:** ~0.0007% ($1.47 on this trade) is negligible—excellent conditions. The 0.048bp spread reflects healthy liquidity.\n\n**Liquidity Assessment:** Low severity confirmed. ETH's depth should absorb this order with minimal market impact, assuming normal conditions persist during execution.\n\n**Recommendation:** No split required. Execute as a single order or in 2-3 tranches if you prefer risk management, though price-impact alone doesn't demand it.\n\n**Caveat:** This analysis uses aggregate depth snapshots, not the full L2 orderbook—actual impact may vary with hidden orders, orderbook shape, or volatility spikes.\n\n**Verdict:** Execute with confidence; favorable conditions for a $50k ETH buy.","usd_amount":50000,"depth_metrics":{"mid_price":2098.205,"spread_pct":0.0005,"available_depth_usd":239092.78,"trade_size_pct_of_depth":20.91},"estimated_impact":{"model":"indicative-aggregate (not full L2 walk)","severity":"low","est_slippage_pct":0.0007}}},"exampleRequest":{"usd":50000,"coin":"ETH","side":"buy"},"tags":["x402"],"displayCostAmount":"0.02","displayCostAsset":"USDC","priceDynamic":false,"priceHint":null,"priceStatus":"priced","priceSource":"settled","requiresHandshake":false,"reviewCount":0,"rating":{"score":"0.00","successRate":"0.00","reviews":0,"stars":null,"state":"unrated"},"availabilityStatus":"unknown","priceObserved":null,"sessionDeposit":null,"pricing":{"kind":"static","summary":"$0.02/call","primary":{"kind":"static","protocol":"x402","network":"base","amountUsd":"0.02","per":"call","confidence":"exact"},"accepted":[{"kind":"static","protocol":"x402","network":"base","amountUsd":"0.02","per":"call","confidence":"exact"}]},"paymentMethods":[{"uid":"pm_-gSt0p6u2OKxM8HIFlrPO","protocol":"x402","methodType":"crypto","chain":"base","mode":"charge","costAmount":"0.02","costPer":"request","priority":0,"asset":null,"unit":"request","depositMicros":null,"planRef":null}],"brandName":null,"brandSlug":null,"brandBaseUrl":null,"brandDocsUrl":null,"whatItDoes":"Returns an indicative price-impact estimate for a hypothetical crypto trade, including depth metrics, slippage estimate, severity tier, and Claude-powered microstructure analysis.","exampleAgentPrompt":"What's the estimated price impact and slippage if I place a $50,000 buy order on ETH right now — will it move the market much?","exampleUseCases":null,"resultDescription":"Returns coin identifier, trade side, aggregate order book depth in USD, percentage of depth consumed by the trade, slippage estimate as a percentage and dollar amount, spread in basis points, severity tier classification, data age in seconds, source attribution, and a detailed Claude-generated microstructure narrative with execution recommendations.","failureModes":["Unsupported coin symbol returns 404 or error — only coins with available L2 depth data are supported","Missing required query params (usd or side) returns 400 bad request","Stale depth data if exchange feed is delayed — check data_age_seconds in response","Large trade sizes may exceed available depth model range and produce unreliable estimates","Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance insufficient"],"whenToPreferThis":"Use this endpoint when you need a quick, AI-narrated estimate of how much a hypothetical crypto trade will move the market before executing, especially for trade sizes over $10k where slippage materially matters.
