$BTC's quoted spread on Binance was just 0.01 USDT, with a best bid of 84,088.00 and best ask of 84,088.01 USDT.
A narrow spread makes the displayed buying and selling prices look close. It does not guarantee that a large market order will execute entirely at the best price: each quote has limited available size.
Before placing an order, check the depth beyond the top quote. A limit order controls your worst acceptable execution price, but may remain unfilled.
The downside risk: available liquidity can disappear during a sharp move, making a market order cost more than expected.
