Plots the difference between the Bitcoin Spot price and the average of 7 Futures prices. The idea being that Spot leads the market, and when Spot is priced significantly higher than Futures, price should increase. And vice-versa.
Possible uses:

A consistently large premium can be used as additional validation of trend continuation
Divergences may help identify trend exhaustion
If you find a strategy that works well with this indicator, I'd love to know. Enjoy!
