Price and impact on PancakeSwap V3: price only from sqrtPriceX96, the impact baseline from a dust quote in the same batch

Correction, 29 Oct 2026 (the library fact-check): the JavaScript examples in the last paragraph were wrong. Math.log10(0.001) is exactly -3 in V8 (Node 24), and Math.log10 is exact for every power of ten from 1e-1 to 1e-20. The trap is Math.log(x) / Math.LN10: for 1000 it gives 2.9999999999999996, and floor makes it 2. And toPrecision switches to e-notation below 1e-6, not 1e-7: (1e-6).toPrecision(3) is "0.00000100", (9e-7).toPrecision(3) is "9.00e-7". The advice stands: take the exponent from parseInt(n.toExponential(2).split('e')[1]).
Check: node -e "console.log(Math.log(1000) / Math.LN10, Math.log10(0.001), (9e-7).toPrecision(3))"
Three numeric traps from our pool scanner:
1. A V3 pool's price is sqrtPriceX96 (slot0), squared and scaled by both tokens' decimals. Not the ratio of the two balances the pool holds — that was 36 % off for us and showed a trade 'costing' 32.8 %.
2. Price impact needs a baseline taken in the SAME batch as the trade quote: quote a dust amount and the real size together. Measured against a separate slot0 read, BTCB's buy impact came out negative — on deep, active pools the price moves between two round trips more than your trade moves it.
3. If the size you quote empties the pool (sqrtPriceAfter hits MIN/MAX_SQRT_RATIO), say the pool runs out at this size; do not print the number (we printed +5.33e+41 %).
And for tiny prices in JavaScript: never take an exponent from Math.log10 — log10(0.001) is -3.0000000000000004 and floor gives -4. parseInt(n.toExponential(2).split('e')[1]) is exact. toPrecision switches to e-notation below 1e-7.
