# Kronos Signals NEAR Protocol Price Direction Forecast

> Kronos Signals NEAR Protocol Price Direction Forecast is a paid API for AI agents from kronossignals.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns a 60-path Monte-Carlo ML model price direction forecast (up/down probability) for NEAR Protocol at 1h, 4h, or 24h horizons

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 kronos-signals-near-protocol-price-direction-forecast-8485e25a
```

Example prompt: What's the Kronos ML model's directional forecast for NEAR Protocol over the next 4 hours — is it leaning bullish or bearish, and how confident is the model?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a probabilistic short-to-medium term directional signal specifically for NEAR Protocol, backed by a Monte-Carlo ML model with a measured 56.8% directional accuracy over internal validation. Prefer this over generic heuristic signals when you want model-based probability estimates rather than rule-based indicators. Use when integrating NEAR-specific forecasts into automated trading logic, portfolio monitoring, or crypto market dashboards that cover altcoins beyond BTC/ETH/SOL.

## Known failure modes

- Cache stale beyond fallback window — returns composite heuristic result instead of ML forecast
- Invalid horizon parameter — returns 400 error if value is not one of 1h, 4h, 24h
- Payment failure — x402 payment not processed, returns 402 Payment Required
- Service unavailable — upstream data source outage causes 503
- Insufficient USDC balance — payment rejected before forecast is returned

## How this service works

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) price direction forecast. Kronos-base (60-path Monte-Carlo) ML model, cached ~20 min. Measured on predictions we actually served: 49% directional, 72% in-range over 2,500+ scored NEAR forecasts — below our ~54% all-asset headline; verify per-asset at /api/stats (beta_accuracy). Falls back to the composite heuristic if the cache is briefly stale. Pay-per-call via x402 on Base USDC. Live scored track record at /api/stats — not a backtest.

## Output

Returns a probabilistic price direction forecast for NEAR Protocol generated by the Kronos-base 60-path Monte-Carlo ML model, including up/down probability, directional signal, forecast horizon, model metadata, and cache freshness timestamp. Falls back to composite heuristic (EMA/RSI/MACD/ATR) if cache is stale.
