How Does the Size of ‘K’ Affect the Pool’s Resistance to “Whale” Manipulation?

A larger 'k' value, indicating a deeper liquidity pool, significantly increases the pool's resistance to "whale" manipulation. A whale attempting to move the price by a certain percentage would need to execute a much larger trade in a deep pool (high 'k') than in a shallow pool (low 'k').

The higher capital requirement for a given price impact makes manipulation more costly and therefore less feasible for large players.
