## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quantitative, multi-timeframe price-path forecasts for crypto, commodities, or pre-market equities and want a single benchmark signal rather than raw market data. It is especially suitable for AI agents that need a pre-computed directional signal rather than doing their own technical analysis. At $0.02 USDC per call via x402, it is cost-effective for frequent polling in automated trading or decision-support workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure: insufficient USDC balance or x402 micropayment rejected, returns 402 Payment Required
- Asset not found: requested symbol not covered by the benchmark feed
- Rate limiting: too many calls in a short window, returns 429
- Service unavailable: forecast engine temporarily offline, returns 503
- Stale signal: forecast data may be delayed during low-liquidity periods
