## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a synthesized, opinionated crypto market brief combining sentiment divergence, BTC trend, fear/greed index, and Polymarket prediction data into a single actionable BUY/SELL/HOLD signal — especially when you want an integrated view rather than querying individual sentiment or on-chain data sources separately.
