gate-exchange-marketanalysis

name	gate-exchange-marketanalysis
version	2026.3.23-1
updated	2026-03-23
description	The market analysis function of Gate Exchange, such as liquidity, momentum, liquidation, funding arbitrage, basis, manipulation risk, order book explainer, slippage simulation. Use when the user asks about liquidity, depth, slippage, buy/sell pressure, liquidation, funding rate arbitrage, basis/premium, manipulation risk, order book explanation, or slippage simulation (e.g. market buy $X slippage). Trigger phrases: liquidity, depth, slippage, momentum, buy/sell pressure, liquidation, squeeze, funding rate, arbitrage, basis, premium, manipulation, order book, spread, slippage simulation.

General Rules

⚠️ STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding. Do NOT select or call any tool until all rules are read. These rules have the highest priority. → Read gate-runtime-rules.md

• Only call MCP tools explicitly listed in this skill. Tools not documented here must NOT be called, even if they exist in the MCP server.

Market tape analysis covering thirteen scenarios, such as liquidity, momentum, liquidation monitoring, funding arbitrage, basis monitoring, manipulation risk, order book explanation, slippage simulation, K-line breakout/support–resistance, and liquidity with weekend vs weekday. This skill provides structured market insights by orchestrating Gate MCP tools; call order and judgment logic are defined in references/scenarios.md.

Routing Rules

Determine which module (case) to run based on user intent:

User Intent	Keywords	Action
Liquidity / depth	liquidity, depth, slippage	Read Case 1, follow MCP order (use futures APIs if perpetual/contract)
Momentum	buy vs sell, momentum	Read Case 2, follow MCP order
Liquidation	liquidation, squeeze	Read Case 3 (futures only)
Funding arbitrage	arbitrage, funding rate	Read Case 4
Basis	basis, premium	Read Case 5
Manipulation risk	manipulation, depth vs volume	Read Case 6 (spot or futures per keywords)
Order book explainer	order book, spread	Read Case 7
Slippage simulation	slippage simulation, market buy $X slippage, how much slippage	Read Case 8 (spot or futures per keywords)
K-line breakout / support–resistance	breakout, support, resistance, K-line, candlestick	Read Case 9 (spot or futures per keywords)
Liquidity + weekend vs weekday	liquidity, weekend, weekday, weekend vs weekday	Read Case 10 (spot or futures per keywords)
Technical analysis / what to do	technical analysis, what to do with BTC, long or short, trading advice, current level	Read Case 11 (spot + futures, short & long timeframes)
Multi-asset buy & allocation	watchlist, want to buy, analyze several coins, investment advice, how to allocate budget	Read Case 12
Portfolio allocation review	portfolio, allocation, is my allocation reasonable, how to adjust, what else to buy	Read Case 13

Execution

1. Match user intent to the routing table above and determine case (1–13) and market type (spot/futures).
2. Read the corresponding case in references/scenarios.md for MCP call order and required fields.
3. Case 8 only: If the user did not specify a currency pair or did not specify a quote amount (e.g. $10K), do not assume defaults — prompt the user to provide the missing input(s); see Scenario 8.3 in references/scenarios.md.
4. Call Gate MCP in the exact order defined for that case.
5. Apply judgment logic from scenarios (thresholds, flags, ratings).
6. Output the report using that case’s Report Template.
7. Suggest related actions (e.g. “For basis, ask ‘What is the basis for XXX?’”).

Domain Knowledge (short)

• Spot vs futures: Keywords “perpetual”, “contract”, “future”, “perp” → use futures MCP APIs; “spot” or unspecified → spot.
• Liquidity (Case 1): Depth < 10 levels → low liquidity; 24h volume < 30-day avg → cold pair; slippage = 2×(ask1−bid1)/(bid1+ask1) > 0.5% → high slippage risk.
• Momentum (Case 2): Buy share > 70% → buy-side strong; 24h volume > 30-day avg → active; funding rate sign + order book top 10 for bias.
• Liquidation (Case 3): 1h liq > 3× daily avg → anomaly; one-sided liq > 80% → long/short squeeze; price recovered → wick/spike.
• Arbitrage (Case 4): |rate| > 0.05% and 24h vol > $10M → candidate; spot–futures spread > 0.2% → bonus; thin depth → exclude.
• Basis (Case 5): Current basis vs history; basis widening/narrowing for sentiment.
• Manipulation (Case 6): Top-10 depth total / 24h volume < 0.5% → thin depth; consecutive same-direction large orders → possible manipulation. Use spot by default; use futures when user says perpetual/contract.
• Order book (Case 7): Show bids/asks example, explain spread with last price, depth and volatility.
• Slippage simulation (Case 8): Requires both a currency pair and a quote amount (e.g. ETH_USDT, $10K). If user does not specify either, prompt them — do not assume defaults (e.g. do not default to $10K). Spot: cex_spot_get_spot_order_book → cex_spot_get_spot_tickers. Futures: cex_fx_get_fx_contract → cex_fx_get_fx_order_book → cex_fx_get_fx_tickers (use quanto_multiplier from contract for ladder notional). Simulate market buy by walking ask ladder; slippage = volume-weighted avg price − ask1 (points and %).
• K-line breakout / support–resistance (Case 9): Trigger: e.g. “breakout, support, resistance”, “K-line”, “does X show signs of breaking out?”. Spot: cex_spot_get_spot_candlesticks → cex_spot_get_spot_tickers. Futures: cex_fx_get_fx_candlesticks → cex_fx_get_fx_tickers. Use candlesticks for support/resistance levels; use tickers for 24h price, volume, change (momentum).
• Liquidity + weekend vs weekday (Case 10): Trigger: e.g. “liquidity”, “weekend vs weekday”, “compare weekend and weekday”. Spot: cex_spot_get_spot_order_book → cex_spot_get_spot_candlesticks(90d) → cex_spot_get_spot_tickers. Futures: cex_fx_get_fx_contract → cex_fx_get_fx_order_book → cex_fx_get_fx_candlesticks(90d) → cex_fx_get_fx_tickers (use quanto_multiplier for depth notional). Order book for current depth; 90d candlesticks to split weekend vs weekday volume and return; compare and summarize.
• Technical analysis / what to do (Case 11): Trigger: e.g. "technical analysis, what should I do with BTC", "long or short at current level". Spot: cex_spot_get_spot_candlesticks(short & long timeframes 4h/1d) → cex_spot_get_spot_tickers. Futures: cex_fx_get_fx_candlesticks → cex_fx_get_fx_tickers → cex_fx_get_fx_funding_rate. Use history for support/resistance; compare current price and 24h volume to past for momentum; funding rate for long/short bias; give separate short- and long-term advice.

Important Notes

• All analysis is read-only — no trading operations are performed.
• Gate MCP must be configured (use gate-mcp-installer skill if needed).
• MCP call order and output format are in references/scenarios.md; follow them for consistent behavior.
• Always include a disclaimer: analysis is data-based, not investment advice.
