Binance Spot vs Perpetual Price index by BIGTAKER📌 Overview
This indicator calculates the premium (%) between Binance Perpetual Futures and Spot prices in real time and visualizes it as a column-style chart.
It automatically detects numeric prefixes in futures symbols—such as `1000PEPE`, `1MFLUX`, etc.—and applies the appropriate scaling factor to ensure accurate 1:1 price comparisons with corresponding spot pairs, without requiring manual configuration.
Rather than simply showing raw price differences, this tool highlights potential imbalances in supply and demand, helping to identify phases of market overheating or panic selling.
🔧 Component Breakdown
1. ✅ Auto Symbol Mapping & Prefix Scaling
Automatically identifies and processes common numeric prefixes (`1000`, `1M`, etc.) used in Binance perpetual futures symbols.
Example:
`1000PEPEUSDT.P` → Spot symbol: `PEPEUSDT`, Scaling factor: `1000`
This ensures precise alignment between futures and spot prices by adjusting the scale appropriately.
2. 📈 Premium Calculation Logic
Formula:
(Scaled Futures Price − Spot Price) / Spot Price × 100
Interpretation:
* Positive (+) → Futures are priced higher than spot: indicates possible long-side euphoria
* Negative (−) → Futures are priced lower than spot: indicates possible panic selling or oversold conditions
* Zero → Equilibrium between futures and spot pricing
3. 🎨 Visualization Style
* Rendered as column plots (bar chart) on each candle
* Color-coded based on premium polarity:
* 🟩 Positive premium: Light green (`#52ff7d`)
* 🟥 Negative premium: Light red (`#f56464`)
* ⬜ Neutral / NA: Gray
* A dashed horizontal line at 0% is included to indicate the neutral zone for quick visual reference
💡 Strategic Use Cases
| Market Behavior | Strategy / Interpretation |
| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 📈 Premium surging | Strong futures demand → Overheated longs (short setup) |
| 📉 Premium dropping | Aggressive selling in futures → Oversold signal (long setup) |
| 🔄 Near-zero premium | Balanced market → Wait and observe or reassess |
| 🧩 Combined with funding rate or OI delta | Enables multi-factor confirmation for short-term or mid-term signals |

Futures/Spot Ratiowhat is Futures /Spot Ratio?
Although futures and spot markets are separate markets, they are correlated. arbitrage bots allow this gap to be closed. But arbitrage bots also have their limits. so there are always slight differences between futures and spot markets. By analyzing these differences, the movements of the players in the market can be interpreted and important information about the price can be obtained. Futures /Spot Ratio is a tool that facilitates this analysis.
what it does?
it compresses the ratio between two selected spot and futures trading pairs between 0 and 100. its purpose is to facilitate use and interpretation. it also passes a regression (Colorful Regression) through the middle of the data for the same purpose.
about Colorful Regression:
how it does it?
it uses this formula:
how to use it?
use it to understand whether the market is priced with spot trades or leveraged positions. A value of 50 is the breakeven point where the ratio of the spot and leveraged markets are equal. Values above 50 indicate excess of long positions in the market, values below 50 indicate excess of short positions. I have explained how to interpret these ratios with examples below.
