market.kimchi_alert
Identify Korea-vs-global crypto arbitrage: check if a coin trades at a premium or discount on Upbit, plus reverse-premium crash risk and premium surge alerts.
Instructions
Detect Korea-vs-global crypto price arbitrage (the "kimchi premium"):
whether a coin trades at a premium or discount on Upbit vs a global
reference price (Coinbase spot, CoinGecko fallback - NOT a live Binance
orderbook, despite the legacy binance_price_usdt field name kept for
backward compatibility), a reverse-premium crash-risk flag (-1.5% or
below), and a premium-surge flag (+3 percentage points within the last
hour).
Use this when asked about cross-exchange arbitrage opportunities in Korean
crypto markets, to detect a reverse-premium crash risk, or a sudden premium
surge. This is a live snapshot only - do NOT use it for historical/backtesting
data, or for non-Korean-exchange comparisons (use arb.spread_matrix for a
general CEX-DEX spread check instead).
Args:
symbol: Ticker symbol, e.g. "BTC", "ETH", "SOL" (default "BTC").
Returns:
On success: {"success": true, "symbol", "upbit_price_krw",
"binance_price_usdt" (legacy name, actually Coinbase/CoinGecko),
"cex_reference_price_usdt" (same value, honest name),
"cex_price_source", "kimchi_premium_pct", "premium_change_1h_pct",
"alerts", "thresholds", "notice", ...}
On failure: {"success": false, "error": {"type", "message"}}
