Kimchi Premium / Korean Premium ALL TICKERSKimchi Premium
Due to the isolated nature of Korean crypto markets, Koreans pay a hefty premium on most cryptos. (Usually ranging from 3% to 5%). This is colloquially known as the " Kimchi Premium ".
Uses
The extend of this premium can be used to gauge Korean sentiment towards certain tickers. Most of the insane alt coin rallies that are started by Korean degens are missed by foreign traders entirely. This script seeks to fix that.
Notes
This script automatically detects your current ticker and compares the USDT pair to the KRW pair after adjusting for exchange rate.
Works on all USDT, USDC, BUSD, FDUSD, USD, USDT.P, USDC.P or KRW pairs. Will obviously throw an error if your ticker has no KRW pairing.
Korea
Korea PremiumA simple indicator based on the percentage price difference between Korean crypto markets and western markets.
It currently shows the premium for BTC & ETH.
If it's positive (red) it means that the Korean market is trading at a premium.
Vice versa negative (blue) means the West is trading at a premium.
Because the Korean crypto market is so closed off (because of regulations) the premium sometimes gets really wild.
The Korean average is based on Bithumb & Korbit prices.
The index made for the west is based on Coinbase, Kraken and Bitstamp.
By default it uses closing prices for the calculation but you can change that.
You can also change the timeframe in the settings although it's probably best that you keep it at "same as chart".
It's free so you can just add it to your favourites and start using it.
