What It Does

Ask "What kind of BTC market is this, and how much risk should I take?"

The oracle answers with one of 5 regimes + a documented posture:

Regime	Target Exposure	Posture
🟢 RISK_ON	100%	Uptrend — full exposure
🟡 RANGE_BOUND	40%	Sideways — light exposure
🔵 RISK_OFF	20%	Downtrend — defensive
🔴 CAPITULATION	10%	Panic — max defensive
🟣 EUPHORIA	30%	Blow-off — take profit

Built as an MCP Strategy Skill for the CoinMarketCap Agent Hub (BNB AI Trading — Track 2). Any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, CMC Agent Hub) calls get_market_regime to get a deterministic, no-look-ahead risk posture.

📈 Headline Result

In a down year for BTC (−37%), the regime strategy did −12.7% — halving drawdown (−24% vs −51%) and halving volatility (19% vs 43%), outperforming buy-and-hold by ~25 points while still going long in uptrends.

Metric	Regime Strategy	Buy & Hold
Total return	−12.7%	−37.4%
Max drawdown	−24.2%	−51.2%
Annualized volatility	19.3%	43.1%
Sharpe (rf 4%)	−0.82	−0.97
Sortino	−1.01	−1.32

🧩 The 5 Signals

Signal	Source	Weight
RSI / MACD momentum	CoinGecko price	0.30
Fear & Greed Index	alternative.me	0.25
Volatility regime	CoinGecko price	0.15
Funding rate proxy	derived from price	0.15
Exchange flow proxy	derived from volume	0.15

Each signal outputs a normalized bullishness score in [-1, +1]. All 5 are independently unit-tested.

Transparency: Funding rate and exchange flows have no free public feed. We reconstruct them from price/volume data as clearly-labeled proxies. Drop in real feeds anytime — the fusion layer is signal-agnostic.
