Analyzing Market Sentiment

Overview

Cryptocurrency market sentiment analysis combining Fear & Greed Index, news keyword analysis, and price/volume momentum into a composite 0-100 score.

Prerequisites

Python 3.8+ installed
Dependencies: pip install requests
Internet connectivity for API access (Alternative.me, CoinGecko)
Optional: crypto-news-aggregator skill for enhanced news analysis

Instructions

Assess user intent - determine what analysis is needed:
- Overall market: no specific coin, general sentiment
- Coin-specific: extract symbol (BTC, ETH, etc.)
- Quick vs detailed: quick score or full component breakdown

Run sentiment analysis with appropriate options:

# Quick market sentiment check
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/sentiment_analyzer.py

# Coin-specific sentiment
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/sentiment_analyzer.py --coin BTC

# Detailed breakdown with all components
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/sentiment_analyzer.py --detailed

# Custom time period
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/sentiment_analyzer.py --period 7d --detailed

Export results for trading models or analysis:

python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/sentiment_analyzer.py --format json --output sentiment.json

Present results to the user:
- Show composite score and classification prominently
- Explain what the sentiment reading means
- Highlight extreme readings (potential contrarian signals)
- For detailed mode, show component breakdown with weights

Output

Composite sentiment score (0-100) with classification and weighted component breakdown. Extreme readings serve as contrarian indicators:
