# Entropy Index Regime – Bitcoin Risk Clock

> Entropy Index Regime – Bitcoin Risk Clock is a paid API for AI agents from www.entropyindex.com, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns a geopolitical and structural-stress regime reading for Bitcoin (or other entities like Taiwan or Hormuz) to inform position sizing before trading.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 entropy-index-regime-bitcoin-risk-clock-1def70a5
```

Example prompt: Before I size into Bitcoin perps, run a quick probe-depth regime check on Bitcoin using Entropy Index and tell me if anything is structurally hot or stressed right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, cheap structural-stress context check before sizing into a position involving geopolitically sensitive assets (Bitcoin, Taiwan semiconductors, energy via Hormuz). It is distinctly useful when you want an attested, sealed regime reading — not a trade signal — at minimal cost ($0.07 probe). Prefer it over general macro news APIs when you need a structured, quantified regime clock with cryptographic attestation and perp-specific context.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown entity slug returns an error or empty regime reading
- Invalid depth parameter falls back to probe or returns validation error
- Service temporarily unavailable causing delayed or missing regime data
- Attestation seal missing or unverifiable if upstream data source is degraded
- Rate limiting if polled too frequently during volatile market periods

## How this service works

Risk Pulse: Bitcoin — Returns a heat check before you size — or poll again while in. Countries, chokepoints, and crypto (Taiwan, Hormuz, Bitcoin) plus perp context (funding flip, rekt guard, tape vs structure). $0.25. Is anything hot? Not a trade signal.

## Output

Returns a regime clock reading indicating whether the specified entity (Bitcoin, Taiwan, Hormuz, etc.) is in a calm, elevated, or crisis structural-stress state, with an attestation seal. At probe depth ($0.07), provides a basic heat check. At clock depth ($5), provides a full pre-action regime signal with perp context (funding flip, rekt guard, tape vs structure). Not a trade signal — a structural context reading for position sizing decisions.
