Instead of reading hundreds of news articles manually, I taught AI to do it for me.
Task:
Understand market sentiment (fear or greed) BEFORE the price moves.
How it works:
1. Data collection
The agent parses every hour:
• Crypto Twitter (top-100 influencers)
• Reddit r/cryptocurrency, r/bitcoin
• Telegram crypto channels
• CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph, Decrypt
~500-1000 posts/articles per day
2. AI analysis
Claude processes each text:
Prompt:
Analyze this post about BTC.
Sentiment: bullish/bearish/neutral
Confidence: high/medium/low
Key factors: [list of reasons]
3. Aggregation
Collecting everything into a single index:
Fear/Greed Index:
Bullish mentions: 42%
Bearish mentions: 58%
→ Market sentiment: FEARFUL (68/100)

[Your question]
Don't answer my question right away. First, check if it's the right question.
— Define what real goal I'm trying to solve.
— Specify the assumptions I'm making (which may be incorrect).
— Show blind spots — what I'm not considering.
— Ask 3–5 clarifying questions.
— Rephrase my question into 2–3 more precise and useful variants.

Real example (February 27):
Morning:
• Sentiment: Neutral (50/50)
• BTC: $68,220
14:00:
• AI noticed an increase in bearish posts
• Sentiment shifted: 65% bearish
• Keywords: "dump", "sell pressure", "resistance"
18:00:
• BTC dropped to $66,071(-2.6%)
AI noticed a trend 4 hours BEFORE the drop 📉
Why this works:
✅ The crowd drives the market (especially in crypto)
✅ Sentiment changes before price
✅ AI processes more data than a human
✅ No emotions and bias
Limitations:
❌ Doesn't work on news (SEC, regulations)
❌ Accuracy ~60-70% (not 100%)
❌ Delay 1-4 hours (not a real-time prediction)
