Prerequisites
Before using this skill, ensure you have:
- Access to crypto market data APIs (CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, or similar)
- Blockchain RPC endpoints or node access (Infura, Alchemy, or self-hosted)
- API keys for exchanges if trading or querying account data
- Web3 libraries installed (ethers.js, web3.py, or equivalent)
- Understanding of blockchain concepts and crypto market dynamics
Instructions
Step 1: Configure Data Sources
Set up connections to crypto data providers:
- Use Read tool to load API credentials from {baseDir}/config/crypto-apis.env
- Configure blockchain RPC endpoints for target networks
- Set up exchange API connections if required
- Verify rate limits and subscription tiers
- Test connectivity and authentication
Step 2: Query Crypto Data
Retrieve relevant blockchain and market data:
- Use Bash(crypto:movers-*) to execute crypto data queries
- Fetch real-time prices, volumes, and market cap data
- Query blockchain for on-chain metrics and transactions
- Retrieve exchange order book and trade history
- Aggregate data from multiple sources for accuracy
Step 3: Analyze and Process
Process crypto data to generate insights:
- Calculate key metrics (returns, volatility, correlation)
- Identify patterns and anomalies in data
- Apply technical indicators or on-chain signals
- Compare across timeframes and assets
- Generate actionable insights and alerts
Step 4: Generate Reports
Document findings in {baseDir}/crypto-reports/:
- Market summary with key price movements
- Detailed analysis with charts and metrics
- Trading signals or opportunity recommendations
- Risk assessment and position sizing guidance
- Historical context and trend analysis
Output
The skill generates comprehensive crypto analysis:
Market Data
Real-time and historical metrics:
- Current prices across exchanges with spread analysis
- 24h volume, market cap, and circulating supply
- Price changes across multiple timeframes (1h, 24h, 7d, 30d)
- Trading volume distribution by exchange
- Liquidity metrics and slippage estimates
On-Chain Metrics
Blockchain-specific analysis:
- Transaction count and network activity
- Active addresses and user growth metrics
- Token holder distribution and concentration
- Smart contract interactions and DeFi TVL
- Gas usage and network congestion indicators
Technical Analysis
Trading indicators and signals:
- Moving averages (SMA, EMA) and trend identification
- RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands technical indicators
- Support and resistance levels
- Chart patterns and breakout signals
- Volume profile and accumulation zones
Risk Metrics
Portfolio and position risk assessment:
- Value at Risk (VaR) calculations
- Portfolio correlation and diversification metrics
- Volatility analysis and beta to market
- Drawdown statistics and recovery times
- Liquidation risk for leveraged positions
Error Handling
Common issues and solutions:
API Rate Limit Exceeded
- Error: Too many requests to crypto data API
- Solution: Implement request throttling; use caching for frequently accessed data; upgrade API tier if needed
Blockchain RPC Errors
- Error: Cannot connect to blockchain node or timeout
- Solution: Switch to backup RPC endpoint; verify network connectivity; check if node is synced
Invalid Address or Transaction
- Error: Blockchain address format invalid or transaction not found
- Solution: Validate address checksums; verify network (mainnet vs testnet); allow time for transaction confirmation
Exchange API Authentication Failed
- Error: Invalid API key or signature mismatch
- Solution: Regenerate API keys; verify permissions (read/trade); check system clock synchronization for signatures
Resources
Crypto Data Providers
