How this service works
Reads the visible order book of one exchange and measures how bid and ask volume sit inside a window of depth_pct around the mid. imbalance runs from -1 (only asks) to +1 (only bids) and is computed on quote turnover, not on level counts. pressure is the plain classification kauf, verkauf or ausgeglichen and the threshold behind it is returned in thresholds_used, never hidden in code. A wall is a level larger than five times the median level size in the same window; that median is part of the an
Output
Returns a numeric imbalance score from -1 (pure ask-side) to +1 (pure bid-side) computed on quote turnover, a pressure label (kauf/verkauf/ausgeglichen), the thresholds used for classification, identified wall levels with their sizes, the median level size used for wall detection, and supporting bid/ask volume breakdowns within the specified depth window.
Example use cases
Pre-trade market pressure check
“Before I put in a large ETH/USDT buy order on Binance, can you check the order book imbalance within 2% of the mid using 500 levels and tell me if sellers are dominating or if there are any big ask walls I should be aware of?”
Cross-exchange order flow comparison
“Compare the order book pressure for BTC/USDT on Kraken vs Bybit — use the default 1% depth window — and tell me which exchange has a stronger bid imbalance right now.”
Automated wall detection alert
“Monitor the SOL/USDC order book on OKX with a 0.5% depth window and 200 levels, and flag if any walls appear on either the bid or ask side that could act as support or resistance.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://markt.halowerk.com/orderbook/imbalanceWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a transparent, formula-driven order book imbalance signal with explicit thresholds and wall detection across major CEX venues. It is superior to rolling your own analysis when you need quote-turnover-weighted imbalance (not naive level counts), explicit wall identification with median-size anchoring, and a human-readable pressure label with the exact classification threshold returned. Prefer this over ticker endpoints when you need depth-of-book insight rather than just top-of-book price data.
Side effects
- Invalid symbol format (must match BASE/QUOTE pattern) returns validation error
- Unsupported trading pair on the selected exchange returns a not-found or empty book error
- Exchange API timeout or rate limit causes upstream failure
- depth_pct outside 0.1–5 range or levels outside 50–1000 range returns schema validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient funds for x402 per-call billing blocks the request
