How the daily recap works
The day page collects everything the bot recorded for the UTC day: every story with the time of first publication, sources and the price reaction after 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and 24 hours, without the market move. Spikes and drops are marked separately – with the news published three hours before them and three hours after. The recap text is written by the AI Claude from this data, and code checks every number.
We record a match and leave the conclusions about the cause to you. The formulas and thresholds are in the methodology. Market news for this day is on the market day page.
A free experiment. The bot is learning and improves based on your feedback, so it can make mistakes. It helps you spot a serious story or problem in time; the decision and the risk are yours. Not a recommendation to buy or sell.
