Explore complementary indicator rolesHow it works
The Futures/Spot Ratio works by calculating a normalized ratio between futures and spot market trading pairs, compressed between 0 and 100. It uses a specific mathematical formula to translate the relationship between these two markets into a single, interpretable value. The indicator passes a colorful regression through the middle of the data to enhance visualization and understanding.
By tracking the ratio's movement, traders can gain insights into market sentiment and positioning. A value of 50 represents an equilibrium point where spot and leveraged markets are balanced, with values above 50 indicating excess long positions and values below 50 suggesting predominant short positions.

It helps traders understand whether the market is predominantly driven by spot trades or leveraged positions, offering valuable insights into potential price movements and market psychology.
By translating complex market interactions into a simple, compressed ratio, this indicator allows traders to quickly assess market sentiment without getting lost in intricate details. It serves as a powerful tool for interpreting market behavior, helping traders make more informed decisions about potential trend directions and market momentum.
