Overview
Cerebrus Pulse
Section titled “Cerebrus Pulse”Real-time multi-timeframe technical analysis for 50+ Hyperliquid perpetuals, paid via x402 micropayments on Base or Solana.
Cerebrus Pulse is an API that delivers technical indicators, derivatives data, market regime detection, cross-exchange divergence signals, and multi-signal confluence scoring — all accessible with a single HTTP request and a USDC micropayment.
Key Features
Section titled “Key Features”- 7 indicator families — RSI, EMAs (20/50/200), ATR, Bollinger Bands, VWAP, Z-score and EMA trend, on closed candles only
- Confluence vote share — Four indicators vote on each timeframe; the score (0–1) is the bullish share. A heuristic, not a validated signal
- Derivatives data — Hourly funding (annualized ×24×365), open interest in contracts, impact prices and spread
- Market regime — The trading system’s regime label (for example
risk_on), flagged when stale - Perp basis — Hyperliquid’s perp premium to its oracle, plus how far the oracle sits from Chainlink spot
- USDC collateral health — USDC peg status from the Chainlink feed on Arbitrum
- Market Stress Index — A stress level from cross-chain arbitrage scans (LOW/MODERATE/HIGH/EXTREME)
- CEX-DEX divergence — Coinbase against on-chain prices for the tokens the scanner covers (15 on 2026-09-24)
- Liquidation zones — A model of where liquidations cluster by leverage tier, with its assumptions stated
- 6 timeframes — 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, daily, weekly analysis
- 50+ coins — Major Hyperliquid perpetuals (BTC, ETH, SOL, and more)
- Dual-chain payments — Pay with USDC on Base or Solana via x402
Payment Model
Section titled “Payment Model”Pulse uses the x402 protocol for payments:

No API keys. No subscriptions. No accounts. Your wallet is your identity. Pay from whichever chain you prefer.
