Premium Index
The premium index measures the difference between the perpetual contract price and the spot index price. It is used to calculate the funding rate and reflects the immediate demand for long or short positions.
When the premium index is high, it indicates strong bullish sentiment, leading to higher funding rates. When it is negative, it suggests bearish sentiment, leading to lower or negative funding rates.
Traders analyze the premium index to gauge market overheatedness and to predict upcoming funding payments. It is a real-time indicator of the imbalance between supply and demand in the derivative market.
