## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability apex-runner-bollinger-band-analysis-aeb23712
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the Bollinger Band analysis for BTC right now and tell me if a breakout is imminent — I want to know the band label, how tight the bands are percentile-wise, and where the price sits within the bands.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, pre-computed Bollinger Band signal for a specific crypto pair to inform a trading decision, especially when checking for coiling bands or imminent breakouts. Ideal for agents automating crypto trading strategies on Kraken, Coinbase, or Hyperliquid that need a lightweight technical indicator without running full charting infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported trading pair returns an error or empty result
- Payment not processed results in 402 response
- Stale cache may mean data is not real-time for fast-moving markets
- Rate limiting if too many calls are made in quick succession

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the trading pair, Bollinger Band label (COILING/NORMAL/EXPANDED), current band width as a percentage of price, the width percentile vs 30-day history, price position within the bands (0=lower, 1=upper), a boolean indicating whether a breakout is pending, a plain-English interpretation, and a cache timestamp.
