# Pre-Markets

When Pacifica lists pre-markets that are not on other major exchanges, the oracle references Pacifica's mark price instead of external sources.\
\
An EMA is also applied to prevent oracle manipulation. This, combined with Pacifica's price band mechanic (+-30% of mark price) prevents extreme manipulation of pre-market perps.\
\
Once other major venues begin listing the same market, their pricing will be added to Pacifica's oracle reference in order to further strengthen its robustness.\
\
Additionally, Pacifica exercises strict open interest caps in pre-market pairs to prevent abnormal trading activity and market manipulation.
