- Binance via DepthSignal public preview. Completed hourly candles use UTC close times. The book is separately fetched; no historical book is inferred.
- ±25 bp · up to 10 levels per side · BTC base quantities; not full-band depth.
- Book observation age: unknown. Exchange source timestamp is not supplied. The public sample refreshes once per minute.
- Aligned observations do not imply causation or predict the next move.
Source, method & data table
Measured Binance observations, Market data unavailable. Price change uses closing prices over 60 minutes. The book is a separate point-in-time snapshot. Imbalance = (included bid BTC - included ask BTC) / (included bid BTC + included ask BTC). Missing, stale, invalid or ambiguous inputs have no scalar value.
| Time (UTC) | Close (USDT/BTC) | Bid (BTC) | Ask (BTC) | Imbalance |

Read the example
Two inputs. Different clocks.
The preview selects hourly price history independently of the latest book sample. The worked example below is simulated, not a description of current market conditions.
A point-in-time depth read.
At 01:50 UTC, the included book has 100 BTC on bids and 300 BTC on asks: -0.50 imbalance.
Missing stays missing.
The 02:30–02:45 UTC book gap is unavailable rather than zero or Neutral. Price remains visible because it is independently valid.
Ways to research
Explore the wider workspace.
The chart shows the approach. These research paths carry it further, with scope and availability kept explicit.
Understand current market conditions.
The simulated chart pairs a 20-minute price interval with the resting book at that moment. Public pages show which sources are connected. Price, pressure, structure and source status read as one evidence set.
Demonstrated above: at 01:50 UTC the simulated close moves +0.21% across the highlighted interval while the book reads -0.50 imbalance.
The chart demonstration is simulated; live coverage appears on public status pages. Executed-flow comparison is a platform surface, not demonstrated on this page.
Investigate conditions across venues and time.
Compare venue disagreement, spot/futures context and derivatives stress, then walk feature and composite history through a past episode. Disagreement stays visible as context, and history keeps the same evidence model.
Simulated venue check: the same 01:50 UTC close reads 105,199.64 on the included source and 105,224.68 on a second fictional feed, a 25.04 USDT disagreement kept visible as context.
Platform destinations open with account access. Divergence is context, not a promised opportunity.
Organize repeat research.
Save a research view and monitor the conditions that matter. The same setup stays reviewable instead of being rebuilt each visit.
Illustrative alert condition: at 01:55 UTC, the simulated -0.55 imbalance would meet a rule set below -0.50.
Workspace and alert support depends on account tier.
Integrate supported data.
Pull supported market evidence into an existing analysis workflow through documented endpoints. Integration scope stays explicit instead of implied.
Documented response shape: /v1/orderbook/features/{symbol} returns per-exchange fields such as depth_imbalance, order_flow_imbalance and book_pressure with per-exchange freshness ages; reference shape from API Docs, auth required.
Documented scopes and limits apply; key management lives in account settings.
Market context
Use context for four questions.
Each group answers a different review question. Availability and freshness remain separate evidence, not a footnote.
01Orderbook
Does depth support the move?
Compare bids, asks, wall zones and larger resting size against the selected price interval.
- Bid/ask pressure
- Wall zones
- Larger size
02TA context
What is price structure saying?
Review trend, momentum, volatility, volume, support and resistance as chart questions, not a raw indicator list.
- Trend
- Momentum
- Volatility
- Volume
- Support/resistance
- Structure
03Cross-check
Where does evidence disagree?
Compare independent inputs while keeping disagreement separate from prediction or advice.
- Structure vs pressure
- Available inputs
- Disagreement
04Freshness
Can the inputs still be used?
Keep available, missing, stale, ambiguous and invalid inputs distinct instead of smoothing them into one read.
- Feed freshness
- Venue availability
- Uncertainty marked
Workflow
Review the setup step by step.
Pick a market, compare evidence, then check disagreement and availability.
- 01
Pick a market
Start with chart structure: trend, momentum, volatility, volume, support and resistance.
- 02
Compare chart and pressure
Read price beside orderbook pressure and other context layers, keeping units and observation times separate.
- 03
Check disagreement and freshness
Use disagreement, missing inputs and stale sources as visible limits on the read.
Data status
Know what is
connected.
Availability, staleness and source coverage are part of the evidence.
Review the public operational status for reported conditions.
Preview data status
Check the source and its age.
The public preview uses Binance BTC/USDT: hourly candles and up to ten resting levels per side within 25 basis points. Details disclose book age; missing or stale evidence stays unavailable. The worked text example is explicitly simulated.
Availability is part of the evidence.
Missing, stale and ambiguous inputs stay distinct from disagreement. Independently valid inputs remain readable when another is absent.
