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

```sh
zero fetch --capability cftc-cot-top-movers-week-over-week-positioning-shifts-3fdc89e9

Example prompt: Show me the top 15 CFTC markets where speculator positioning shifted the most this week, normalized by open interest — I want to see where fast money moved hardest.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a broad cross-market scan to identify where speculator momentum is highest or most unusual this week. Prefer it over the single-market COT endpoint when you want to screen all 438 CFTC markets simultaneously and surface outliers ranked by normalized positioning shift rather than looking up a specific market.

## Known failure modes

- top parameter outside 5–50 range returns validation error
- stale data if CFTC release is delayed on holiday weeks
- empty or partial results if weekly COT data has not yet been published
- rate limit or 402 payment required if USDC payment not attached
