## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability altcoinchasershq-market-sentiment-e209f6dd
```

Example prompt: What's the current crypto market sentiment right now — is the market leaning bullish or bearish, and what's the fear and greed index looking like?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost ($0.01 USDC) aggregated crypto market sentiment snapshot focused on altcoin and memecoin trading context, especially when you want a single consolidated bias signal with fear/greed index rather than raw exchange data. Prefer over generic market data APIs when the use case involves altcoin or memecoin decision-making.

## Known failure modes

- Stale or null data fields (btcPrice, fearGreedIndex, confidence may return null if upstream data sources are unavailable)
- Empty reasoning array when no strong signals are detected
- Payment failure if 0.01 USDC not provided via x402 protocol
- Rate limiting or 402 response if payment header is missing or malformed
