South Korea and early signals for price increases.

South Korea is one of the leading markets by trading volume in cryptocurrencies. Exchanges such as Upbit and Bithumb often rank among the top in trading volumes.

There is a peculiarity: South Korean traders are very active, emotional, susceptible to hype, FOMO, and trade based on news.

This peculiarity, along with the large trading volume, often leads to prices on Korean exchanges being higher than on Binance. Arbitrage traders take advantage of this.

Additionally, South Korean exchanges often provide early signals; prices may start to rise there 15-60 minutes earlier than on Binance. This is true for Eth, SOL, Avax, Xrp, Doge, etc. With Bitcoin, it doesn't work as strongly; a major news event is needed, but it does happen.
