What It Does

Korea is the most concentrated retail crypto market on earth — alt-coin volume routinely 2-5x global venues. This Actor:

• Combines 24h KRW volume across all 4 major Korean exchanges
• Returns Upbit's market-event flags per token:
  • warning — formal warning issued
  • caution.GLOBAL_PRICE_DIFFERENCES — big kimchi premium emerging
  • caution.TRADING_VOLUME_SOARING — pump candidate
  • caution.DEPOSIT_AMOUNT_SOARING — onboarding flow surge
  • caution.PRICE_FLUCTUATIONS — high volatility risk
  • caution.CONCENTRATION_OF_SMALL_ACCOUNTS — retail-driven pump pattern
• Sortable by total KRW volume / Upbit-only / symbol
• Filter: warningOnly returns ONLY tokens with Upbit flags

---

Why This Matters

The Upbit caution flags are not opinion — they are Upbit's official regulatory tag, raised when any of 5 specific quantitative thresholds are crossed. Historically:

• GLOBAL_PRICE_DIFFERENCES flag = Kimchi premium ≥ ~5%, often precedes 10-30% local pump
• TRADING_VOLUME_SOARING + DEPOSIT_AMOUNT_SOARING combo = classic pump start
• PRICE_FLUCTUATIONS = volatility cluster (good for short straddle)

This data is publicly available but takes manual checking on Upbit's site. This Actor turns it into a programmatic feed.
