## 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 macropulse-forex-sentiment-positioning-analysis-588fb917
```

Example prompt: What's the current sentiment picture for EUR/USD — give me the retail crowd positioning, whether institutions are aligned or diverging based on COT data, and the contrarian bias call.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a combined retail-vs-institutional sentiment picture with an explicit contrarian bias call for a specific forex pair or gold — especially when you want to identify overcrowded retail positions that institutions may be fading. Prefer over raw COT-only endpoints when you want a synthesized signal rather than raw positioning numbers.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported symbol returns 400 or empty result — only major forex pairs and gold are supported
- Stale COT data on weeks with delayed CFTC releases may reduce institutional signal freshness
- Payment failure or missing x402 header returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting if too many calls are made in rapid succession

## How this service works

Real-time directional sentiment for any forex pair or gold — retail crowd positioning, COT institutional alignment, and a clear contrarian bias call. Built for FX trading and advisor agents.

## Output

Returns retail crowd positioning percentages (long/short), CFTC COT-derived institutional net positioning, directional alignment or divergence between retail and institutional participants, and a clear contrarian bias recommendation for the requested forex pair or gold.
