Call this when the user asks about overall crypto market sentiment or macro state: the Fear & Greed index (today and yesterday), Bitcoin dominance percentage, total market cap, or the Retail Euphoria composite. Live values refreshed about every 30 minutes.

Call this when the user asks how much was liquidated in crypto futures, whether longs or shorts got flushed, or for liquidation history. Returns daily long and short liquidation totals in USD per symbol and exchange, recorded from ByKaranteli's own Binance, Bybit and OKX stream collectors (recorded events, a floor, not estimates). One row per finalized UTC day, symbol and exchange; history begins 2026-07-30 and grows daily.

Call this when the user asks about Bitcoin or Ethereum ETF flows: daily net inflows or outflows, cumulative flow since launch, or total net assets of the US spot ETFs (IBIT, FBTC, ETHA and the rest). Returns one row per finalized US trading day and asset with net inflow, total net assets, cumulative inflow and value traded, all in USD. About 14 months of history.

Call this when the user asks for the full current funding table across the top-30 Binance perp universe, or the funding rate of one specific coin. For a pre-ranked top-10 of the most extreme funding rates, use get_top_movers instead. Returns per-symbol funding rate (per settlement interval), 24h open interest change and 24h price change for the top-30 Binance USDT-M perpetuals. Positive funding means longs pay shorts.

Call this when the user asks about funding arbitrage, funding rate differences between exchanges, or delta-neutral carry trades. Compares funding across Binance, OKX, Bybit, Gate, HTX and BingX for 12 major perps and returns the best long/short venue per symbol with gross and net annualized APR (net of taker fees and weekly rebalance cost).

Call this when the user asks which coins are crowded or over-leveraged, or asks for the pressure/derivatives-stress score of specific coins. For a quick top-10 ranking of the highest-stress coins right now, use get_top_movers instead. Each symbol gets a 0-100 composite score built from funding rate, 1h/4h/24h open interest deltas and basis, with a LONG/SHORT/NEUTRAL direction and a plain-language regime label.

Call this when the user asks what is moving in crypto derivatives right now, which coins have the biggest open interest changes, the most extreme funding, the widest basis, or the highest derivatives stress. Returns four top-10 lists in one call.

Call this when the user asks how the ByKaranteli signal engine is doing today, or wants recent closed LONG/SHORT signals with real outcomes (TP1, SL or TIMEOUT) and net basis-point results. Includes a 24h summary (wins, losses, net bps). Every signal is published with a SHA-256 receipt and results are net of fees, slippage and funding; live signals only, never backtests.

Call this when the user asks how signals performed on a specific coin (win rate, profit factor, net PnL, best/worst trade) or wants that coin's recent closed signals. Data is the live verified track record for one Binance USDT-M perp over a 30, 90 or 180 day window.

Call this when the user asks which trading strategies are performing best, or wants win rate, profit factor, drawdown and Sharpe per strategy. Rankings are computed from live closed signals only (no backtests), net of fees.

Call this when the user asks how hedge funds or institutions are positioned in Bitcoin or Ethereum, or about the CFTC Commitments of Traders report. Returns net positions in contracts, week-over-week changes, open interest and notable extremes/streaks, from official CFTC data updated every Friday. Note: a large share of hedge fund shorts is the market-neutral basis trade, so the weekly change carries more signal than the level.

Call this when the user asks where the big options bets sit, about call/put walls, gamma exposure (GEX), the zero-gamma level, implied volatility (DVOL) or the IV term structure for Bitcoin or Ethereum. Daily snapshot of listed crypto options: top strikes by open interest, put/call ratio, dealer hedging map and ATM IV by expiry.

Call this when the user asks whether US investors are buying or selling Bitcoin or Ethereum, about the Coinbase Premium, or what the cash-and-carry basis trade pays. Returns the latest daily premium in percent, 7-day average, same-sign streak, the last 30 days, and annualized quarterly carry yields. History since 2017; positive premium = US buying pressure.

Call this when the user asks whether informed or toxic order flow is building, about VPIN, or whether market makers are under pressure in Bitcoin, Ethereum or Solana. Returns the current VPIN (0 = balanced, 1 = fully one-sided), its 90-day percentile, the danger threshold and the 24h average. Elevated readings historically precede volatility; VPIN says nothing about direction.

Call this when the user asks what big options players are buying, about block trades, or whether call or put premium dominates today. Returns 24h call vs put premium bought, the block-trade share, and the largest prints of the last 48 hours with strikes, premium and IV. Updated every 15 minutes.

Call this when the user asks how much slippage a trade of a given size would face, how thick the books are, or which major perp market is thinnest right now. Returns live cost ladders in basis points for $10K to $5M market orders across 8 major perpetuals, both sides, from the full visible order book. Excludes fees; null = the book cannot absorb that size.
