What you get
The times that matter, in IST
Crypto trades around the clock, but the market is not equally busy at every hour. These fixed times move price and liquidity every day:
| Event | UTC | India (IST) |
|---|---|---|
| Daily candle closes (1D on most charts) | 00:00 | 05:30 |
| BTC perpetual funding payments | 00:00 · 08:00 · 16:00 | 05:30 · 13:30 · 21:30 |
| Global options expiry (daily, weekly Fri, monthly last Fri) | 08:00 | 13:30 |
| Settlement window (30-minute index average) | 07:30-08:00 | 13:00-13:30 |
| Delta Exchange India BTC and ETH options expiry | 12:00 | 17:30 |
| Weekly candle closes (Sunday night UTC) | Mon 00:00 | Mon 05:30 |
Market sessions shift with daylight saving in the UK and the US. India stays on IST all year, so the same event can land an hour earlier or later depending on the season. Full table: crypto market hours in IST.
How traders in India use it
Before the 13:30 and 17:30 expiries
Open Options to see where open interest and dealer gamma sit, and check max pain for the expiry. Large open interest near the price can pin it into the settlement window; little open interest means the expiry is a non-event.
During the US open at 19:00-20:00 IST
The busiest stretch of the day. Keep Depth open: you see bid and ask walls form and get eaten, and liquidation bubbles show where leveraged traders are forced out.
At night, when you are asleep
The daily BTC report is complete shortly after 05:30 IST, when the daily candle closes: the range, the biggest walls, liquidations and the levels for the day ahead.
Common questions
Is Swiftedge free to use in India?
Yes. Depth, Options, Terminal and the daily reports are free, in the browser, with no sign-up and no app store. Open swiftedge.uk/depth on your phone or laptop and it runs.
What time do Bitcoin options expire in India?
The global Bitcoin options market settles at 08:00 UTC, which is 13:30 IST, every day, with the big weekly expiry on Fridays and the monthly on the last Friday. Delta Exchange India settles its BTC and ETH options at 12:00 UTC, which is 17:30 IST. See Bitcoin options expiry in IST.
Can I use Swiftedge if I trade on Delta Exchange India or CoinDCX?
Yes. Bitcoin has one global price, and Indian derivatives platforms track it. Swiftedge shows where the size actually sits and trades on the biggest global exchanges (the largest futures order book and the main options exchanges), which is the flow that moves the price you trade. Swiftedge is not a broker and does not connect to your account.
When is funding paid in IST?
Every eight hours, at 05:30, 13:30 and 21:30 IST (00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC). The live funding rate is on BTC funding rate.
Does it work on mobile data?
Yes. Depth and Options have a mobile layout, and you can add Swiftedge to your home screen as an app from the browser menu. The live data is streamed in small binary updates, not full page reloads.
Is this investment advice?
No. Swiftedge shows market data and explains what it means. It does not tell anyone what to buy or sell, and it does not hold money or place trades. Rules and taxes on crypto in India are set by Indian authorities.
Data, not advice. Swiftedge is a market data tool. It is not a broker, exchange or investment adviser, and nothing on the site is a recommendation to trade.
