Explore complementary indicator rolesHow it works
The Coinbase Premium Index calculates the price difference between USD pairs on Coinbase and USDT pairs on Binance, creating a comparative metric for market dynamics. It automatically detects the current trading symbol and adapts the premium calculation, using either Simple or Exponential Moving Averages to smooth out the data and reveal underlying trends.
The indicator visually represents these premium values through color-coded columns, with green indicating positive premiums and red showing negative premiums. A moving average line is overlaid to help traders identify trend directions, while a zero-line reference helps quickly interpret market sentiment and potential price movements.

Traders can use these insights to validate trading opportunities and gain a more comprehensive understanding of market sentiment beyond traditional price charts.
When to explore it
